As mushrooms in a night are grown,
Or as the thistle springs unsown;
As weeds start up at nature's call;
So rose a plant in desert soil.
. . . [14 couplets follow]
  In nature's works, we have beheld,
  Some cloath'd in rage, some lac'd with gold,
  We see the sailor leave the shore,
  We sail th' extensive ocean deep.
. . . [10 couples, signed]  A. Mechanick.
