Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Amateur Verse
How like is man to man. Maternal earth Begets a myriad host of human forms, And freely, from her great, unfailing store, She measures to each his daily sustenance. Upon her bounty all types of men depend For nothing less than all that men receive. All have her wondrous gifts - informing eyes And ears, such things as these behold and hear, The light of day, the sky, the verdant garb Of earth, the sound of bird and brook, the sweet Inspiring music of the universe, All these doth Nature give, and none can claim One tittle more than she endows. The School Of life, where master pedagogues instruct, Has taught all men the great, material law; And, moulded by the lessons that we learn, We form the traits that men have christened human.
