"Quel que soit le principe de la vie animale, il ne faut qu'ouvrir las yeux pour voir qu'elle est le cbef-d'eeuvre de la Toiite-puissance, et le but auquel se rappor- teut toutes ses ;—Brucknek, Theoric du Sj/sfeme Animal, Leyden, 1767. The sylvan powers Obey our summons; from tiieir deepest dells The Dryads come, and throw their garlands wild And odorous branches at our feet; the Nymphs That press with nimble step the mountain-thyme And purple heath-flower come not empty-handed, But scatter round ten thousand forms minute Of velvet moss or lichen, torn from rock Or rifted oak or cavern deep: the Naiads too Quit their loved native stream, from whose smooth face They crop the lily, and each sedge and rush That drinks the rippling tide: the frozen poles. Where peril waits the bold adventurer's tread. The burning sands of Borneo and Cayenne, All, all to us unlock their secret stores And pay their cheerful tribute. J. , Nonvich, 1818.
