Human origin may to the ape be referred,

Then we are now turning, I boldly declare,

To monkeys again. Pray look at the air

Of that monkey the organ-man carries about.

Gaze but a short moment and you will find out

When standing, his back just describes the outline

Of that fashionable female, in garments so fine.

Does not this resemblance, oh, tell me, I pray,

’Twixt apes and the fashionable dames of to-day,

Suggest to your mind the identical question,
