Speak boldly, and speak truly, shame the devil.

What mare's nest hast thou found?
There's nothing that allays an angry mind
So soon as a sweet beauty.
There's nothing that allays an angry mind
So soon as a sweet beauty.
Fountain-heads and pathless groves,
Places which pale passion loves!
Fountain-heads and pathless groves,
Places which pale passion loves!

Where nought is certain save the uncertainty of fate?
