Your closing is unorthodox but promotes the mind to question the poem and the era of discovery. Have things changed much?

my fine sir, I was so drawn seriously digesting the lines...until "the cow and milk" hit my eyes and switched to smile involuntarily...

I loved this poem... I am sure many will take offense to " feed your cow and milk it" but since I am no cow I do not care... I am more like a cheeta... or a leopardess...yes I identify more with the feline kind, I even have been known to purr .... but I digress.  your poem is wonderful.
