And by God's permission pluck them up by the root.
It booteth not vice against virtue to stir,
For why vice is feeble and of no force:
But virtus eterna preclaraque habetur.
Wherefore I would all men would have remorse,
And eschew evil company vile and pernicious:
Delight in virtuous men, and hate the vicious.
And as the end of virtue is honour and felicity,
So mark well the end of wickedness and vice!
Shame in this world and pain eternally,
