The founding forces of the Earth
The mover of the stars
Are getting closer to my mind
Induction to the timeless forms
Before the final cause
The unexamined life they find

From the soul to observing the stars and their cause
Through a hole in the Earth where the mind's eye will fall

Through air and water, earth and fire
Discovery is slow
The Earth is round, the will is free
The square of opposition lies
The skepticism grows
Into an age of sophistry

For the sum of my knowledge will conquer the Earth
And the sons of my college will rise and give Earth
