No pleasure without beauty.
Plenty comes not without toil –
nor much beauty either.

All men may prosper – no very
serious obstacles in their way
out of themselves – God's bounties
are everywhere. Fine

Tis not in mortals to command &c. [etc.]
But we'll do more – deserve it.

Whatever you do – prosper
in it – your duty – God com-
-mands it – he is not in your
way – Cultivate your farm –
fence your fields – adorn your
garden yards – Paint your
houses – Show thrift – Enter-
-prise – Spirit – manliness ~
