Well, after all these things are finish’d,

Let no man’s efforts be diminish’d,

But this good maxim keep in view,

That nought is done if aught’s to do.

Then fall too, gentlemen, and grub

Up every root and tree and shrub,

Each trace of vegetation found

In town and out, for ten miles round.

Your “useful labors” to complete

In every square, side-walk and street,
