Men who can say, in soberness and truth,

That guilt is done away, and innocence,

Fearless and free, restored within their breasts?

That vice, with dark inextricable bands,

No more detains, nor drives to acts of shame

The blushing, reasoning, reluctant mind?

That, for the passions, which by turns inspire

The worthless life of nature,—anger, sloth,

And avarice, and pride,—pure love prevails,

Kindled by heaven, nor by a bad world quenched?
