All of different voice and features:

One of us youll find in jet,
Tother you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within;
If the fifth you should pursue,
It can never fly from you.”

A world without a meaning, and had room,
Alone amid magnificence and doom,
To build himself an airy monument”

Down the rushy glen,
We darent go a-hunting
For fear of little men.”
