- XXXVI
- think the Vessel, that with fugitive
- Articulation answer’d, once did live,
- And drink; and Ah! the passive Lip I kiss’d,
- How many Kisses might it take—and give!
- XXXVII
- For I remember stopping by the way
- To watch a Potter thumping his wet Clay:
- And with its all-obliterated Tongue
- It murmur’d—“Gently, Brother, gently, pray!”
- XXXVIII
- And has not such a Story from of Old
- Down Man’s successive generations roll’d
- Of such a clod of saturated Earth
- Cast by the Maker into Human mould?
