by Unknown

Neither by dangers of the path untried,

Nor roughest road, nor highest Alp confined.

But if the way of truth upon the right

It follows, like slow worm, or bird unfledged,

At every twig it checks, and stone, and rill.

Great guide! make strong my pinions for the flight

In that true course; by every other hedged,

And lift and bring me to thy holy hill!

From the Italian of Tarsia.

“But what is error?—Answer he who can!”
