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. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Cuneiform tablet: Sumerian dedicatory inscription from Ekur, the temple of the god Enlil, ca. 16th–15th century B.C.
Line 1 - Eeek, a centipede is in my bed Line 2 - Oof, now we have spiders and bedbugs too - call the fumigator to the door Line 3 - Went to the barn to wake up the cow, proceeded to milk it Line 4 - Spiders still on bed, went to town to buy flock of birds that eat same Line 5 - Big altercation indoors, bugs gone, party time, the end.
If this "writing" resembles cuneiform, there is a museum in Doylestown, Bucks County, PA, that was a home of an anthropologist who installed very ancient cuneiform tablets (tiles) in the poured concrete columns of the main room.
Only the druggist can read it.
