Of the mirror towards the dusty grate, as if feeling

Unsightly its way to the warmth?--this thing with

subject to hateful castigation; wherefore is it that I am in that state

Amongst the rest a small unsightly root,

But of divine effect, he culled me out.

Those blossoms also, and those dropping gums,

That lie bestrown, unsightly and unsmooth,

Ask riddance, if we mean to tread with ease;

He scarce had said, when the bare Earth, till then

Desart and bare, unsightly, unadorned,

Brought forth the tender grass, whose verdure clad

So goodly and erect, though faulty since,

To such unsightly sufferings be debased

Under inhuman pains? Why should not Man,

thought none saw her. Nettle, nor hemlock, nor any other

unsightly weed had leave to grow there. Nor slug, nor

snail, nor foul slimy worm was permitted to crawl there.

And coarser grass, upspearing o'er the rest,

Of late unsightly and unseen, now shine

Conspicuous, and, in bright apparel clad
