There towns aerial on the waving tree.
Learn each small people's genius, policies,
The ant's republic, and the realm of bees;
How those in common all their wealth bestow,
And anarchy without confusion know;
And these for ever, though a monarch reign,
Their sep'rate cells and properties maintain.
Mark what unvary'd laws preserv'd each state,
Laws wise as nature, and as fix'd as Fate.
In vain thy Reason finer webs shall draw,
