Ascience

A science -- so the Savants say,

Comparative Anatomy --

By which a single bone --

Is made a secret to unfold

Of some rare tenant of the mold,

Else perished in the stone --

So to the eye prospective led,

This meekest flower of the mead

Upon a winters day,

Stands representative in gold

Of Rose and Lily, manifold,

And countless Butterfly!
