You cannot fly like an eagle with the wings of a wren.
The sanguine Sunrise, with his meteor eyes,
And his burning plumes outspread,
Leaps on the back of my sailing rack,
When the morning star shines dead;
As on the jag of a mountain crag,
Which an earthquake rocks and swings,
An eagle alit one moment may sit
In the light of its golden wings.
Don't quack like a duck, soar like an eagle.

Every fowl of tyrant wing,
Save the eagle, feather'd king:
Keep the obsequy so strict.
