How 't is done—all that must amuse us yet

So long: and, while you turn upon your heel,

Pray that I be not busy slitting steel

Should any object that he was dull

Or shredding brass, camped on some virgin shore

Under a cluster of fresh stars, before

I name a tithe o' the wheels I trust to do!

So occupied, then, are we: hitherto,

At present, and a weary while to come,

The office of ourselves,—nor blind nor dumb,
