    Why Socrates or Plato--where's the odds?--
    Once taught a jay to supplicate the Gods,
    And made a Polly-theist of a Parrot!

Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
And read more

Think nought a trifle, though it small appear;
Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
And trifles life.
