Seite 116 - His can't be wrong whose life is in the right: In faith and hope the world will disagree, But all mankind's concern is charity: All must be false that thwart this one great end ; And all of God, that bless mankind, or mend. 310 Man, like the gen'rous vine, supported lives; The strength he gains is from th
Seite 78 - Bids each on other for assistance call, 'Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all Wants, frailties, passions, closer still ally The common int'rest, or endear the tie.
