Though there is - for a tree - hope, - if it should be cut down, that, again, it will grow, and, the tender branch thereof, will not cease;

He shall wrong - like a vine - his sour grapes, and shall cast off - as an olive-tree - his blossom.

He hath ruined me on every side, and I am gone, and he hath taken away - like a tree - my hope;

Maternal love shall forget him, the worm shall find him sweet, No more shall he be remembered, but perversity shall be shivered like a tree.
