For by superior energies; more strict

Affiance in each other; faith more firm

In their unhallowed principles; the bad

Have fairly earned a victory o'er the weak,

The vacillating, inconsistent good.

Therefore, not unconsoled, I wait—in hope

To see the moment, when the righteous cause

Shall gain defenders zealous and devout

As they who have opposed her; in which Virtue

Will, to her efforts, tolerate no bounds
