A historical sermon-style appeal argues that many avoid duty by saying they do not want to. It contrasts personal reluctance with the hard realities of labor, poverty, and social obligation, urging young readers to perform needed tasks whether they desire them or not. The piece emphasizes perseverance, responsibility, and personal sacrifice.

A modern knight in plain clothes rescues a laborer, offering a small, noble deed amid reflections on virtue, society, and memory. The piece embraces literary asides and colorful asides about manners and generosity.
