the Philosophy, we should be little above the animals that dig or erect their
batetations, prepare their food in them, take care of their little ones in their dwellings,
dei lave, besides, the good fortune, which we have not, of being born ready-clothed.

Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose,
But musical as is Apollo's lute,
And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets,
Where no crude surfeit reigns.

Milton's Comus, Scene 2.
