    The rise of every man he loved to trace,
    Up to the very pod O!
    And, in baboons, our parent race
    Was found by old Monboddo.
    Their A, B, C, he made them speak,
    And learn their qui, quae, quod, O!
    Till Hebrew, Latin, Welsh, and Greek
    They knew as well's Monboddo!

Out of the dusk a shadow,
Then a spark;
Out of the cloud a silence,
Then a lark;
Out of the heart a rapture,
Then a pain;
Out of the dead, cold ashes,
Life again.

Said the little Eohippus,
"I am going to be a horse,
And on my middle fingernails
To run my earthly course!

I'm going to have a mane!
I'm going to stand fourteen hands high
On the Psychozoic plain!"

We seem to exist in a hazardous time,
Driftin' along here through space;
Nobody knows just when we begun,
Or how fur we've gone in the race.
