Struggling against it; with a soul perplexed,

And finding in herself[113] no steady power

To draw the line of comfort that divides

Calamity, the chastisement of Heaven,

From the injustice of our brother men—

To him appeal was made as to a judge;

Who, with an understanding heart, allayed

The perturbation; listened to the plea;

Resolved the dubious point; and sentence gave

So grounded, so applied, that it was heard
