Our age demands correctness; Addison

And you this commendable hurt have done.

Now writers find, as once Achilles found,

The whole is mortal, if a part's unsound.

He that strikes out, and strikes not out the best,

Pours lustre in, and dignifies the rest:

Give e'er so little, if what's right be there,

We praise for what you burn, and what you spare:

The part you burn, smells sweet before the shrine,

And is as incense to the part divine.
