TALE SIXTEEN.
A STORY OF STAGE LIFE.
SOUL.
“But whither went his soul, let such relate
Who search the secrets of the future state;
Divines can say but what themselves believe;
Strong proofs they have, but not demonstrative;
For, were all plain, then all sides must agree,
And faith itself be lost in certainty;
To live uprightly, then, is sure the best,
To save ourselves, and not damn the rest.”
