And which to nothing less aspires
Than making moons from central fires.
If theories of Doctor Hutton
Be worth the shadow of a button,
And Doctor Darwin has not blunder’d,
We’ll turn out full moons by the hundred.[39]
We mean to bore us, at a venture,
Some auger-holes through Hutton’s centre,
Thus give an unexpected vent
To Hutton’s fires in prison pent.
