Text Appearing Before Image:
Preach. How prone men are to moralize On everything that meets their eyes. I will not quote the sparks that fly Upwards, but note this tendency. That not a stone within their reach But holds a sermon,—so they preach. They see the cats relentless claws Are deftly hid in velvet paws; The frugal ants great industry. Shiftless cicalas* minstrelsy. They do compare, and make us stare At doings in natural history. Like Adam, the world before them lies Wherein to prose and moralize. But then so obvious grows this cropI scorn to reap^Shame bids me stop. (69) Digitized by Microsoft® The Eclipse Lovers, they say, still vow and sigh Neath thy bright rays, O huntress of the sky! Though Science ignores Mythology Yet fancy sees Thee patiently Counting thy month-long nights and days. Keeping thine orbits strict integrity. What hopest Thou? Some cosmic crash That shattering our old world to bits, May end thy tasks monotony And from Earths bondage set Thee free? Cu^^Sp (70) Digitized by Microsoft®
Text Appearing After Image:
Digitized by Microsoft® A Text This text that long has seemed most fit,We think needs brushing up a bit. The Lord, they say, is good to all,He even notes the sparrows fall.Does he prevent it?—^not at all.Save in a very general way. What is this general way aboutWhen sparrows from their nests fall out?Providing cats from day to dayWith fallen sparrows—we should say. Were sparrows notified in time They would not fall—but cats can climb. And curtail genealogic lines To which the sparrow much inclines. Compared with sparrows cats are fewYet for the sparrow seem to do.Cats would be badly off indeedIf sparrows only took more heed. (72) Digitized by Microsoft® But building nests unscientificWell may the sparrow prove prolific,Always in Nature somethings to blame;In Human Nature tis the same. Now may we ask what they are at?The Lord, the sparrow, and the cat?Or ask in a more general wayThe nature of this game they play?
