OB-SERVE, my child, the House-hold Fly, / With his ex-traor-di-na-ry eye: / What-ev-er thing he may be-hold / Is mul-ti-plied a thou-sand-fold.
"We" do not need a com-plex eye / When we ob-serve the Household Fly: / He is so vol-a-tile that he / In "ev-ery" place at once can be; / He is the buzz-ing in-car-na-tion / Of an-i-mate mul-ti-pli-ca-tion.
