Create a prosperous, not a happy, man;
A peaceful conscience is the true content,
And wealth is but her golden ornament.
Quarles.
Divine authority, within man’s breast,
Brings every thought, word, action, to the test;
Warns him or prompts, approves him or restrains,
As reason, or as passion takes the reins.
Heaven from above, and Conscience from within,
Cries in his startled ear,—Abstain from sin.
