Casts of manure a wagon-load around,

To raise a simple daisy from the ground;

Uplifts the club of Hercules—for what?

To crush a butterfly or brain a gnat;

Creates a whirlwind from the earth, to draw

A goose’s feather or exalt a straw;

Bids ocean labor with tremendous roar,

To heave a cockle-shell upon the shore.

Alike in every theme his pompous art,

Heaven’s awful thunder or a rumbling cart.
