Figure C4 AIRY

From this chill future to the present day,

A tower room of lapis and azure

With books and instruments. LE VERRIER

And Adams, independently, assure

Observers that a world unknown must draw

Uranus from its path. And so were France

And England set at scientific war.

(Yet GALILEO saw it: by mischance,

Just at the turning point of its apparent dance.)
