To Weed or Not to Weed

Sculpture by French artist Emeric Chantier

Henry VI: William Shakespeare

Paul 's homage to Shakespeare's Hamlet
(​Act 3, Scene 1):

​To weed or not to weed that is the question:
Whether it is nobler in the ground 
To suffer the beans and marrows of herbaceous fortune, 
or to take plants against a lea of troubles and by hoeing defeat them.
To die, to sweep no more; 
and by a sweep to say 
we end the dirt rake 
and the thousand natural rocks that grass is heir to?
Tis a compostation devoutly to be wished. 
To spray to clip to clip perchance to prune
Aye there's the trug: 
For in that week of Feb 
What dreams may come 
When we have truffled out this mortal soil, 
must give us pause....
