Fix thy corporeal, and internal Eye
On the Young , or new-engender'd ;
On the vile , that Yesterday began
To crawl; Thy Fellow-Creatures, abject Man!
Like Thee they breath, they move, they tast, they see,
They show their Passions by their Acts like Thee:
Darting their Stings, they previously declare
Design'd Revenge, and fierce intent of War:
Laying their Eggs, they evidently prove
The Genial Pow'r, and full Effect of Love.
Each then has Organs to digest his Food,
One to beget, and one receive the Brood:
Has Limbs and Sinews, Blood and Heart, and Brain,
Life, and her proper Functions to sustain;
Tho' the whole Fabric smaller than a Grain.
What more can our penurious Reason grant
To the large , or Castled ,
To those enormous Terrors of the ,
The crested , and long-tail'd ,
Than that all differ but in Shape and Name,
Each destin'd to a less, or larger Frame?
