“Bade round the youth explosive steam aspire,
In gathering clouds, and wing'd the wave with fire;
Bade with cold streams the quick expansion stop, And sunk the immense of vapour to a drop.- Press'd by the ponderous air the Piston falls Resistless, sliding through its iron walls;
Quick moves the balanced beam, of giant-birth, Wields his large limbs, and nodding shakes the earth.”
― The botanic garden: A poem, in two parts. Part I. Containing the economy of vegetation. Part II. The loves of the plants. : With philosophical notes
