Needs must it be that show on the outside correspond

With inward substance,—flesh, the dress which soul has donned,

Exactly reproduce,—were only justice done

Inside and outside too,—types perfect every one.

How happens it that here we meet a mystery

Insoluble to man, a plaguy puzzle? Why

Each soul is either made imperfect, and deserves

As rude a face to match; or else a bungler swerves,

And nature, on a soul worth rendering aright,

Works ill, or proves perverse, or, in her own despite,
