Contrived a scheme, which very nice is,
For making tides of polar ices;
And fed old Ocean’s tub with fountains,
From arctic and antarctic mountains.

To make a clever sort of plough,[44]
Which would e’en set itself to work,
And plough an acre in a jerk.
Though Price’s projects are so clever,
They show us how to live for ever[45]
