HUXLEY'S BATHYBIUS.
Oh, what a bathos was in Huxley's brain,To find the germ of life beneath the main,
And the first throb of Homer's epic chime,
In vile abortions of the ocean slime!
For broader Science, with a brighter gleam,
Has proved Bathybius but a dotard's dream.
But how can mortal scientific be,
Who disbelieves the Book and dines at three?
