And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

Oof....sorry....but my tastes run to the boring....checkered grips and black metal. I am not saying that this isn't an premier example of embellishment.....just not my cup of tea.
The tale is as old as the Eden Tree - and new as the new-cut tooth - For each man knows ere his lip-thatch grows he is master of Art and Truth; And each man hears as the twilight nears, to the beat of his dying heart, The Devil drum on the darkened pane: "You did it, but was it Art ?"

As we used to say, "If it don't go, chrome it."
