--Go On, Old friend! explore with eagle eye,
Where wrapt in night retiring causes lie,
Trace their flight bands, their secrets haunt betray

Involv'd in clouds the mystic scale ascends,
And brutes and angels crowd the distant ends.
While Synethic biology stands, America shall stand;
When Synthetic biology falls, America shall fall;
When America falls - the world.
