Lessons we learn from what we daily see / Of good or evil, if philosophy, / Based on those great "First Truths", will hold the mind / Within its limits -- happiness to find.
Those great "First Truths" will teach the human soul / That the equator lies not at the pole, / That man before his own nose cannot walk, / That man without his palate cannot talk; / That gravitation tends not to the sky, / But to Earth's center, should he try to fly.
