Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within the Union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other persons.

There. Though I will admit that I read the string "and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within the Union, according to their respective numbers" and then just typed it into a search engine to find the rest of the text.

Though I will also admit I'm used to reading 18th C prose, including legalese, so there is an edge there.
