THE SUPERIORITY OF MACHINERY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: A mechanic his labor will often discard
Last Line: Will continue to work though it strikes.

A MECHANIC his labour will often discard
If the rate of his pay he dislikes;
But a clock--and its case is uncommonly hard--
Will continue to work though it strikes.
