Pagina 211 - Heaven may forgive a crime to penitence, For heaven can judge if penitence be true ; But man, who knows not hearts, should make examples, Which, like a warning piece, must be shot off, To fright the rest from crimes.
Pagina 179 - Tis terrible ! it shakes, it staggers me ; I knew this truth, but I repelled that thought. Sure there is none, but fears a future state ; And, when the most obdurate swear they do not, Their trembling hearts belie their boasting tongues.
