Poem by Jonathan Swift

On the Vowels

We are little airy creatures,
All of different voice and features;
One of us in glass is set,
One of us you'll find in jet.
T'other you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within.
If the fifth you should pursue,
It can never fly from you. 

1. Dean Swift at Sir Arthur Acheson’s, in the North of Ireland
