Man will hold some religion, most believe,
Mainly to hush the soul’s rebuke of wrong;
They would their very conscious selves deceive,
By hearing God’s will in an unknown tongue,
And recitals not understood and long.
Hence, from the conscience, they with ease appeal
To crime's high court, the mysteries among.
What then are human hearts?—earth’s woe or weal
When man wrongs man, inspired divinely not to feel
Kamu malı: şairin ölümünün üzerinden 70 yıldan fazla geçti.
