'Tis said a good one;—and I ne'er yet knew

A rough, true soldier, lack humanity:—

If, then, thou canst, with one hand, push aside

The buffets of the world, and, with the other,

Stretch'd forth, in warm and manly charity,

Assist the weak,——be thankful for the ground-work,

And e'en let impulse build upon't;—thou needst

No line, nor level, formal age can give thee,

To raise a noble superstructure. Come;

Embrace me;—when thy father sleeps in honour,
