无活力的

Nature sent him into the world strong and lusty, in a thriving condition, wearing his own hair on his head, the proper branches of this reasoning vegetable, till the axe of intemperance has lopped off his green boughs, and left him a withered trunk, he then flies to art, and puts on a periwig, valuing himself upon an unnatural bundle of hairs, all covered with powder, that never grew on his head; but now should this our broomstick pretend to enter the scene, proud of those birchen spoils it never bore, and all covered with dust, through the sweeping of the finest lady's chamber, we should be apt to ridicule and despise its vanity.

刚来到这个世界上时，它是多么的遒劲有力，多么的活力十足，欣欣向荣。头上长着与生俱来的嫩枝，枝叶繁茂，然而，人类的斧头无节制地将它的枝干砍掉，直到留给它一个枯萎的树干。然后，它只得求助艺术，戴上一丛自己看来并不自然的"假发"，而且那假发永远也不会生长。自己则完全掩埋在灰尘中。但是，我们的扫柄也应这样登场——把桦木的枝条安在自己身上，并且为之洋洋自得吗？它们身上覆盖了尘土，尽管还是最尊贵的夫人房里的尘土。即便这样，它的虚荣心，也应该受到我们的嘲笑与鄙视。
