Of such materials, fame and triumph made!

How guilty these! Yet not less guilty they,

Who reach false glory by a smoother way:

Who wrap destruction up in gentle words,

And bows, and smiles, more fatal than their swords;

Who stifle nature, and subsist on art;

Who coin the face, and petrify the heart;

All real kindness for the show discard,

As marble polish'd, and as marble hard;

Who do for gold what Christians do thro' grace,
