What’s all this bustle and alarm

by (1744–1838)

Listen in the reader

What’s all this bustle and alarm, This buzzing ’bout the nation, A Comet crop’d, now heaves in sight, A stranger constellation; Tho’ Newton, Tycho Brahe, Des Cartes, Concerning Comets vary, Yet Comets, call them what you will, Are stars both rough and hairy.
