To us her lineaments are labels,

Which stare like capitals on play bills.

From bearings of the different osses,

And shapes of forehead, chin, proboscis,

The frons and occiput’s topography,

Can write a man’s complete biography.

Have drawn nine million diagrams,

Which wags denominate flim flams,

Though worth your worshipful reliance

For shortest outlines of the science.
