THE con-sci-en-tious art-ist tries

On-ly to draw what meets his eyes.

This is the Whale; he seems to be

A spout of wa-ter in the sea.

Now, Hux-ley from one bone could make

An un-known beast; so if I take

This spout of wa-ter, and from thence

Con-struct a Whale by in-fer-ence,

A Whale, I ven-ture to as-sert,

Must be an an-i-mat-ed squirt!

Thus, chil-dren, we the truth may sift

By use of Log-ic's Price-less Gift.
