148 Have you reckoned them for a trade, or farm-work?
 * or for the profits of a store? or to achieve yourself
 * a position? or to fill a gentleman's leisure,

Have you reckoned the landscape took substance and

Or men and women that they might be written of,
 * and songs sung?

Or the attraction of gravity, and the great laws and
 * harmonious combinations, and the fluids of the
 * air, as subjects for the savans?

Or the brown land and the blue sea for maps and
 * charts?

Or the stars to be put in constellations and named
 * fancy names?

Or that the growth of seeds is for agricultural tables,
 * or agriculture itself?

Old institutions—these arts, libraries, legends,
 * collections, and the practice handed along in manufactures—
 * will we rate them so high?

Will we rate our cash and business high? I have
 * no objection,

I rate them high as the highest—then a child born
 * of a woman and man I rate beyond all rate.

 * grand,

I do not say they are not grand and good, for they
 * are,

I am this day just as much in love with them as
 * you,
