Thy father's will, most just and true:

Justice, and faith, and many a grace

In thee have found a resting-place.

Such virtues, Prince, the good may gain

Who empire o'er each sense retain;

And well canst thou, with loving view

Regarding all, each sense subdue.

But for the third, the lust that strives,

Insatiate still, for others' lives,—

Fond thirst of blood where hate is none,—
