May side-by-side pass toast or jest;
And be their number two or three,
With elbow-room and liberty,
What need to wander east or west?
And meet for fasting or for fest,
In fair and equal parts to be
A seat for three.
For youth or elder shady tree;
A roof for council or sequest,
A corner in a homely nest;
Free, equal, and fraternally,
A seat for three.”
