Shall throw him out of life with all that sin:

Let mercy rather pile up pain on pain

Till the flesh expiate what the soul pays else!"

Nowise! Remonstrants on each side commence

Instructing, there 's a new tribunal now

Higher than God's—the educated man's!

Nice sense of honor in the human breast

Supersedes here the old coarse oracle—

Confirming none the less a point or so

Wherein blind predecessors worked aright
