(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

A FORESTRY¹ Commissioner² had just felled a giant tree when, seeing
an honest man approaching, he dropped his axe³ and fled. The next
day when he cautiously returned to get his axe, he found the
following lines pencilled on the stump:

"What nature reared by centuries of toil,
A scalawag in half a day can spoil;
An equal fate for him may Heaven provide -
Damned in the moment of his tallest pride."
