:Go, bind thou up yon dangling apricocks, :Which, like unruly children, make their sire :Stoop with oppression of their prodigal weight: :Give some supportance to the bending twigs. :Go thou, and like an executioner :Cut off the heads of too fast growing sprays :That look too lofty in our commonwealth: :All must be even in our government. :You thus employ'd, I will go root away :The noisome weeds which without profit suck :The soil's fertility from wholesome flowers.
