Onward, forward ever tending,
Oer ways of improvement resistless wending:
Plato, Bacon, Hume, Kant, all,
Wholly convinced the plexing veil would fall,
Haughtily bleated, Advance, skyward fly!
As if winged inspiration eer were nigh,
Offering ample pinion our progress to aid
Straddling a downy current, into heaven fade.
But mind you not my irreverent and insolent way
Of straining to express my inveterate dismay;
For though I dont doubt the philosophers of old
Had discovered in part truths goodly mold
Yet, upon self-originating reflection I find,
Upon agitating my resolved and down-cast mind
Its not on some divine effluence I ride!
Why! to no sure path are my feet tied!
But, glancing round on four walls hung with gloam,
And back down into my maze flecked tome,
Its clear that within noxious realms I roam.
