The blameless conduct and the humble heart.

Yet he escapes not; he, with some, is wise

In carnal things, and loves to moralize:

Others can doubt if all that Christian care

Has not its price - there’s something he may share:

But this and ill severer he sustains,

As gold the fire, and as unhurt remains;

When most reviled, although he feels the smart,

It wakes to nobler deeds the wounded heart,

As the rich olive, beaten for its fruit,
