A kick that scarce would move a horse,
May kill a sound divine.
But many a crime deemed innocent on earth
Is registered in Heaven; and these no doubt
Have read more
But many a crime deemed innocent on earth
Is registered in Heaven; and these no doubt
Have each their record, with a curse annex'd.
Wisdom and goodness are twin-born, one heart
Must hold both sisters, never seen apart.
Wisdom and goodness are twin-born, one heart
Must hold both sisters, never seen apart.
Assail'd by scandal and the tongue of strife,
His only answer was a blameless life;
And he read more
Assail'd by scandal and the tongue of strife,
His only answer was a blameless life;
And he that forged, and he that threw the dart,
Had each a brother's interest in his heart.
