What A Piece Of Work Is Man Lyrics - Hair

What a piece of work is man 

How noble in reason 

How infinite in faculties 

In form and moving how express and admirable 

In action how like an angel 

In apprehension how like a god 

The beauty of the world 

The paragon of animals 

I have of late 

But wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth 

This goodly frame 

The earth seems to me a sterile promontory 

This most excellent canopy 

The air look you 

This brave o'erhanging firmament 

This majestical roof 

Fretted with golden fire 

Why it appears no other thing to me 

Than a foul and pestilent congregation 

Of vapors 

What a piece of work is man 

How noble in reason
