Calumnies Are Answered Best With Silence.

Still May Syllables Jar With Time, Still May Reason War With Rhyme, Resting Never!

I See Compassion May Become A Justice, Though It Be A Weakness, I Confess, And Nearer A Vice Than A Virtue.

Now We Are All Fallen, Youth From Their Fear, And Age From That Which Bred It, Good Example.

Whom Hatred Frights, Let Him Not Dream Of Sovereignty.

Of All Wild Beasts Preserve Me From A Tyrant; And Of All Tame A Flatterer.
