Knitting

There’s a needle on the left,…and on the right, a needle, too!
Which one will knit a fabric for a new society,
and which will only reinforce the old one?
The tricoteuses knit to build what’s new;
the nit-wits on the right will rip it up.
The ladies knitting near the blade
all hope to see hacked heads
of princes, not of paupers.
