Two hands also. Why maimed account thyself in name?
Whene’er a master puts a spade in hand of slave,
He has no need to speak; the act expression gave.
Our hands just so are given; spades they are to us.
Think out this problem well; it needs not any fuss.35
When thou hast laid this unction to thy soul amain,
In duty’s path to lay down life thou’lt count as gain.
Those symbols indices are, whence are secrets known.
Responsibility’s from thee withdrawn; work shown.
Thou’rt surely burdened. Borne also most truly art.
