<l>One's-Self I sing, a simple separate person, </l>
<l>Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-Masse. </l>
<l>Of physiology from top to toe I sing, </l>
<l>Not physiognomy alone nor brain alone is worthy for the Muse, I say the Form complete is worthier far, </l>
<l>The Female equally with the Male I sing. </l>
<l>Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power, </l>
<l>Cheerful, for freest action form'd under the laws divine, </l>
<l>The Modern Man I sing. </l>
