All the globe boasts,
Realms, isles and coasts,
    And lakes and seas.

That you'd describe
The four-legged tribe
    Both great and small,
Both wild and tam'd
That Adam nam'd
    In Eden, all.

Will make you great,
    Or I'm mistaken,
Perhaps with Locke,
The crowd you'll mock
    Or shine like Bacon.

With Franklin's zeal
The lightning steal,
    And chain its rage,
