Nor blame if once, and once again

He wring the hearts of milder men,

If slights, the worse if undesigned,

Should seem unbrotherly, unkind;

For though tree wave, and blossom blow

Above, earth hides a fire below;

Her seas the starry laws obey,

And she from her own ordered way

Swerves not, because it dims the day

Or changes verdure to decay.
