EACH me down my Tycho Brahé,—I would know him when we meet,

When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet;

He may know the law of all things, yet be ignorant of how

We are working to completion, working on from then till now.

Pray, remember, that I leave you all my theory complete,

Lacking only certain data, for your adding, as is meet;

And remember, men will scorn it, 'tis original and true,

And the obloquy of newness may fall bitterly on you.
