In “The Centipede,” what lines BEST demonstrate the poet’s admiration for the centipede?
You seem to do it all so pat, Without a slip or jumble;
You did not learn it all at once When you were just a baby,
So I may hope, dear centipede, That there’s a good day coming
When I shall play long runs with speed Instead of slowly strumming.
