Wherein my toil had set fair Ceres' garden—

With foul and flaunting weeds to overrun

My country, I have been tempted to forego

The idle reaping, uplay the soil itself,

And with some few and trusted followers

Rouse a new Spring to breed us gracious harvest.

Aris. But he who strikes at heritage gives riot

Fair leave to play above his trampled grave,

And rather than usurp a wrong with right,

You bend your strength to make the wrong a virtue.
