THE BASE OF ALL METAPHYSICS
AND now gentlemen,
A word I give to remain in your memories and minds,
As base and finalè too for all metaphysics. (So to the students the old professor,

friend to friend,
Of the well-married husband and wife, of children and
parents,
Of city for city and land for land. 1871 1871

Who often walk’d lonesome walks thinking of his dear
