| ONE'S-SELF I sing, a simple separate person, |
| Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-Masse. |
| Of physiology from top to toe I sing, |
|
Not physiognomy alone nor brain alone is worthy for the Muse, I
say the Form complete is worthier far, |
| The Female equally with the Male I sing. |
| Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power, |
| Cheerful, for freest action form'd under the laws divine, |
| The Modern Man I sing. |
