II

How is the Seeker lost who finds!

His way beneath the burning eye

Of heaven makes money, all his shares

Of history hedged, his future high.

He shifts, the scalping pioneer,

The brave, the baron of the mine,

Perfumes his reeking hands, and prays

His shining great-grandson to dine.

Behold a modern wonder! King

Is the washed child with wife for queen:

These with a nicer pride receive

The flattery of the machine.

The daily bath renews the skin

The elevators wing the feet

The ice-cubes in the enameled box

Can keep beer cool and butter sweet.
