            THE BETTER PART-II
            
            Have mountains lost their running streams,
            
              The hillside nooks their roots,
            
            The trees their bark-enveloped limbs
            
              And all delicious fruits?
            
            Why else should man disgrace himself
            
              Before a loveless brow
            
            That scowls in pride of scanty pelf,
            
              With pain acquired but now?

Tawney

            
            Are roots extinct in mountain caves? have streams forgot to flow?
            
            Do vests of bark and woodland fruits on trees no longer grow?
            
            Else why endure the haughty mien and eye-brows arched in scorn
            
            Of men who've scraped together wealth to which they were not born ?

            LXXXIX 
            
            Are there no caverns in the mountains left? 
            
            Are all the forest boughs of leaves bereft
            
            And mellowing fruit? are the wild cataracts still 
            
            On every lonely hill?
            
            Why haunt the servile press? or cringe and bow 
            
            To win the nod of some majestic brow
            
            That wears for honor the low insolence
            
            Of wealth — how got and whence?

            25. Or is it that herbs and roots have all disappeared from caves, and streams have gone away from hillsides, or that branches of trees bearing luscious fruits and yielding barks are all destroyed, that the faces of wretches, perfectly devoid of good breeding, are found to have their eyebrows dancing like creepers in the wind of an arrogance which their scanty earning eked out with hardship engenders in them?
