To put it another way:

Tis thine with plastic hand, to mould the mass
Of ductile silver, and resplendent brass;
'Tis thine, with sooty finger, to produce
Unnumber'd forms, for ornament and use.

Hark! what a sound! - Art's pondrous fabric reels
Beneath machinery's ten thousand wheels;
Loud falls the stamp, the whirling lathes resound;
And engines heave, while hammers clatter round:
What labour forges, patient art refines,
Till bright, as dazzling day, metallic beauty shines.
