THUS, then, to man the voice of Nature spake 

 Go, from the creatures thy instruction take ; 

 Learn from the birds what food the thickets yield ; 

 Learn from the beasts the physic of the field ; 

 The arts of building from the Bee receive ; 

 Learn of the Mole to plough, the Worm to weave ; 

 Learn of the little Nautilus to sail, 

 Spread the thin oar and catch the driving gale."
