Erasmus Video (MV)

Erasmus Darwin refused to be physician to the King
He didn't want to, he was successful, was else did he need?
A respected friend, a clever doctor, a family man
Amateur inventor, part-time poet, a Lunar Man

A biologist of great potential
Laid the groundwork for his grandson's best work
Anti-slave trade, enlightened thinker
Social reformer, never a drinker

Doctor Darwin, religiously sceptical of religion itself
Philosophically minded, a great ideas man
A joker to his friends

Erasmus! A legend in Litchfield
Erasmus! Quintessential Lunatick
Erasmus! Evolutionary icon
Erasmus! Enlightenment hero
