Where's the Poet? Show him! show him, / Muses nine! that I may know him!

'Tis the man who with a man / Is an equal, be he King, / Or poorest of the beggar-clan, / Or any other wondrous thing / A man may be 'twixt ape and Plato; / 'Tis the man who with a bird, / Wren, or Eagle, finds his way to / All its instincts; he hath heard / The Lion's roaring, and can tell / What his horny throat expresseth, / And to him the Tiger's yell / Comes articulate and presseth / On his ear like mother-tongue.
