The Three Monuments
They hold their public meetings where | Our most renownèd patriots stand, | One among the birds of the air, | A stumpier on either hand; | And all the popular statesmen say | That purity built up the State | And after
kept it from decay; | Admonish us to cling to that | And let all base ambition be, | For intellect would make
us proud | And pride bring in impurity: | The three old rascals laugh aloud. |
