This hand shall tear And lay thee bare, So that thy root No more shall shoot; There thou shalt lie ; And there shalt die, The sun's hot flame Shall burn thy shame, Storms with their lash Shall drive thine ash : This is thy meed, Thou wicked weed. THE SPIRIT AND THE MUSE. 149 THE TREES OF THE WOOD. " That which is crooked cannot be made straight. " As, walking through a wood, one sees Some straight, and other crooked trees, And even those, which straight est grow, Are not quite faultless every b...ough, , While e'en the crookedest we see Yet have a naked dignity ; So in the world — some men are good ; These are the straight ones of the wood ; Others are badly natured ; these, Just like those crooked ones, displease : Yet take the best, you will not find That they are perfect of their kind ; Or take the worst, and they excel In parts the ones you like right well ; 146 THE SPIRIT AND THE MUSE. Thus Nature tells us to beware, And both our praise and censure spare ; For not a soul beneath Heaven's vault But hath or here or there a fault, Nor one so monstrously misgrown But hath some beauty for its own.
