And leave the fortunate dirt-protected
Inhabitants, quite uninfected.
Filth, on earth’s surface, it is clear,
Its like attracts from th’ atmosphere,
And always leaves a pure vicinity,
By laws of chemical affinity.[37]
Our citizens, their next resource
Should cause a “social intercourse,”
By perforating banks and bounds
’Twixt vaults and wells and burying-grounds.
