To Fly.

To swim, to glide, to spin, to spring, To break the aire with nimble ••wing. With wing'd ascent springs through the boundless•• aire. Shoots through the aire. Sweeps the aire. To cut through the u••enclosed aire. Swims through the airy main with ••eathered finnes. Then swi••tly through the yeelding aire they glid••, To strike airy rings. His tossed feathers chafe the wandring aire. Waving his wings through airy regions glides. Through aire they ply with an industrious wing, And spread their shady p••nions. And with wing'd nerves swim through the clustering clouds, And with a swooping flight glide through the aire With nimble wing they cleave the flitting skie. T••rough aire they spring, Spreading the pinions of their nimble wing. Sailing upon the bosome of the skie. Sw••mming upon the bosome of the aire. To make wing. To keep. Hold wing. Unto the aire their feathered sailes they yeild, And row with plumy oares.
