I wish, said the poet, that you should do thus and so:
Laugh you thus, what matters a poet's wish?
The poet's wish is Nature's law.
It is for the satisfaction thereof that things are,
And that Time moves.
Observe Science in modern times proving the old poet's dreams.
Nature with all her train of powers
And Time with his ordered hours,
And Space, ... and said,
What dost thou wish, my lord?
