The heavenly virtues—charity and truth,

Humility, and holiness, and love—

And yet the common haunt of anger, pride,

Hatred, revenge, and passions foul with lust;

Allied to heaven, yet parleying oft with hell.

Pollok.

Consider well. The heart is a deceiver,

O, paltering with it, in some double sense,

Thou’st shunned, perhaps, the word that would condemn thee,

E’en while thy will was partner in the crime.
