The closer they are pressed the more do they divide
2. Brothers again unite their ponderous strength,
Toiling all day throughout its tedious length.

4. A casket fair, whose closely covered lid
A mother's hope, a nation's promise, hid.

Not valued greatly in this later day,
Except by those who fly when they are ill
To test the virtues of a patent pill.
