This single Stick, which you now behold ingloriously lying in that neglected corner, I once knew in a Flourishing State in A Forest, it was full of Sap, ful l of Leaves, and full of Boughs; but now, in vain does the busie Art of Man pret end to Vye with Nature, by tying that wither'd Bundle of Twigs to its sapless Tr unk;'tis now at best but the Reverse of what was, a Tree turn'd upside down, th e Branches on the Earth, and the Root in the Air;'tis now handled by every Dirt y Wench, condemn'd to do her Drudgery, and by a Capricious kind of Fate, destin' d to make other Things Clean, and be Nasty it self: At Length, worn to the Stumps in the Service of the Maids,'tis either thrown out of Doors, or condemn'd to its last use of kindling Fires.
请看看这根扫帚把,它现在灰溜溜地躺在偏僻的角落,而以前我曾在树林里碰见过它,那时它风华正茂,汁液充沛,枝叶繁盛。如今它完全变了样,却还有人自作聪明,想靠人类的手工同大自然竞争,拿来一束枯枝捆在它那早已干瘪的身上,结果是枉费心机,不过颠倒了它原来的位置,使它枝干朝地,根梢朝天,成为一株头朝下的树,然后落在干脏活累活的女仆们的手里使用。从此它受命运的摆布,把别人打扫干净,而自己却变得又脏又臭,在女仆们手里折腾多次之后,最后被扔出门外,或者作为引火的柴禾被投进火里。
