Plato thought nature but a spume that plays

Upon a ghostly paradigm of things;

Solider Aristotle played the taws

Upon the bottom of a king of kings;

World-famous golden-thighed Pythagoras

Fingered upon a fiddle stick or strings

What a star sang and careless Muses heard:

Old clothes upon old sticks to scare a bird.
