名人诗歌|When I Heard the Learned Astronomer

When I heard the learn'd astronomer^1，

When the proofs， the figures， were ranged in columns before me，

When I was shown the charts and diagrams， to add， pide，

and measure them，

When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with

much applause in the lecture-room，

How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick，

Till rising and gliding^{2 out I wander'd off by myself，}

In the mystical moist night-air， and from time to time，

Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.
