STEP BY STEP OR THE PROGRESS IN HUMAN LIFE
London Pub. 2nd Jan. 1809 at R. Ackermann's Repository of Art 101 Strand.
How well indulgent Nature knows
The weight each Body bears
See Childhood scarce supported goes
Dismissing half its fears
Fresh Strength the Urchin daily proves
Till with a Warrior's stride
O'er Realms in arms Man fiercely moves
Creation's Shame or Pride
