'Twill stand all brunts in open Air;

Tho' oft they're overcome with Heat,

And sink with Nurture too replete;

Then Birchen Twigs, if right apply'd

To Back, Fore-part, or either Side——

Support a while, and keep it up,

Tho' soon again the Plant will droop.

Motteux had one very untow'rd,

And thought to mend it with a Cord,

But kill'd the Tree, yet gain'd his End,
