Better One Suffer Than A Nation Grieve.

They First Condemn That First Advised The Ill.

A Man Is To Be Cheated Into Passion, But To Be Reasoned Into Truth.

Thus, While The Mute Creation Downward Bend Their Sight, And To Their Earthly Mother Ten, Man Looks Aloft; And With Erected Eyes Beholds His Own Hereditary Skies.

Fattened In Vice, So Callous And So Gross, He Sins And Sees Not, Senseless Of His Loss.

All Things Are Subject To Decay And When Fate Summons, Monarchs Must Obey.
