For their own sake, to do things worthily.’
“You ought to follow Coleridge’s advice, and
‘Gently take that which ungently came,
And without scorn forgive.’
And further,—
‘If a foe have kenn’d,
Or worse than foe, an alienated friend,
A rib of dry rot in thy ship’s stout side,
Think it God’s message, and in humble pride
With heart of oak replace it.’
