Man Stands Tall Among Creatures

From A0.4, The Nature of Man. It illustrates A0.4.1–4:

A0.4.1
A further step, and man came forth, the last,For whom the whole creation had been cast.
A0.4.2
All things were formed, a lock without a key,Till man arose, and man that key would be.
A0.4.3
With head held high, like cypress straight and tall,Endowed with speech and reason over all,
A0.4.4
With knowledge, wisdom, judgment at his hand,He ruled the creatures placed in his command.
