Observe Expression taking Thought
To give IL TO uldnRlnuI
Observe how sedulouS II is
The proper means to find.

OF word form IL takes
The Thought directly from its source
And prose or poem makes
Into some perfect piece which gives

And makes mankind the worshippers
OF its plenipOtence.

At anything in sight and queers
The whole darn shooting match

Pause,

Your very hardest blows might not
