Nil mortalibus ardui est	A
Caelum ipsum petimus stultitia	B
Horace	C
	-
From Persian looms the silk he wove	D
No Weaver meant should trail above	E
The surface of the earth we tread	F
To deck the matron or the maid	G
	-
But you ambitious have design'd	H
With silk to soar above mankind	H
On silk you hang your splendid car	I
And mount towards the morning star	I
	-
How can you be so careless gay	J
Would you amidst red lightnings play	J
Meet sulphurous blasts and fear them not	K
Is Phaeton's sad fate forgot	K
	-
Beyond our view you mean to rise	L
And this Balloon of mighty size	L
Will to the astonish'd eye appear	M
An atom wafted thro' the air	N
	-
Where would you rove amidst the storms	O
Departed Ghosts and shadowy forms	O
Vast tracks of aether and what's more	P
A sea of space without a shore	P
	-
Would you to Herschell find the way	J
To Saturn's moons undaunted stray	J
Or wafted on a silken wing	Q
Alight on Saturn's double ring	Q
	-
Would you the lunar mountains trace	R
Or in her flight fair Venus chase	R
Would you like her perform the tour	S
Of sixty thousand miles an hour	T
	-
To move at such a dreadful rate	A
He must propel who did create	A
By him indeed are wonders done	U
Who follows Venus round the sun	U
	-
At Mars arriv'd what would you see	V
Strange forms I guess not such as we	V
Alarming shapes yet seen by none	U
For every planet has its own	W
	-
If onward still you urge your flight	X
You may approach some satellite	X
Some of the shining train above	E
That circle round the orb of Jove	E
	-
Attracted by so huge a sphere	M
You might become a stranger here	Y
There you might be if there you fly	Z
A giant sixty fathoms high	Z
	-
May heaven preserve you from that fate	A
Here men are men of little weight	A
There Polypheme it might be shown	W
Is but a middle sized baboon	A2
	-
This ramble through the aether pass'd	B2
Pray tell us when you stop at last	B2
Would you with gods that aether share	N
Or dine on atmospheric air	N
	-
You have a longing for the skies	L
To leave the fogs that round us rise	L
To haste your flight and speed your wings	C2
Beyond this world of little things	C2
	-
Your silken project is too great	A
Stay here Blanchard 'till death or fate	A
To which yourself like us must bow	D2
Shall send you where you want to go	E2
	-
Yes wait and let the heav'ns decide	F2
Your wishes may be gratified	F2
And you shall go as swift as thought	G2
Where nature has more finely wrought	G2
	-
Her Chrystal spheres her heavens serene	H2
A more sublime enchanting scene	H2
Than thought depicts or poets feign	I2
