From Ku all emanate, are thence divine;

Eternal law ordaineth all combine

To aid; each one of us must give and take.

This creature, serving us, will progress make,

And we are lifted up in reaching down;

Thus by endeavor we ourselves may crown.

Learn then, this little friend shall nothing feel,

Experience shall to thee a truth reveal.

Thy slender fingers I but touch, and lo!

All feeling goes, no heat therein doth glow.
