Reach the fine form, the clear intelligence—

Above unseemliness, reach decent law,—

By laughter: attestation of the Muse

That low-and-ugsome is not signed and sealed

Incontrovertibly man's portion here,

Or, if here,—why, still high-and-fair exists

In that ethereal realm where laughs our soul

Lift by the Muse. Hail thou her ministrant!

Hail who accepted no deformity

In man as normal and remediless,
