Or surely you 'll grow double!

May teach you more of man,
Of moral evil and of good,
Than all the sages can.

Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:—
We murder to dissect.
Enough of science and of art;
Close up these barren leaves.

Our meddling intellect
Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of Things:—
We murder to dissect.
