A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

There ssurfeit of store wliile men starve. The bounty of Nature is ample, If the Host would but evenly carve. The giants of strength in body, Contrasting with feeble of arm Again the proportion is wanting, And the weak view the strong with alarm. The prodigious mental aehieveu Hmt Unlocks the great storehouse of thought, While the unthinking multitude wonder Their endowments of isdom are naught. The wills of iron all unyielding Oerwhelming the weak, right or wrong, Accuse the omniscient Maker Of attending some subjects too long. Some hoping, some dreading the future. No two in the same even path, The Span of diff rentiation From bliss to most terrible wrath. The wisdom of Nature youd question? You pronounce her work spurious alloy? Should God, if unbounded and mighty. Bestow on us nothing but joy? Perhaps you are right in your meaning. But surely your logic is wrong; Your plan is to mould Nature over. But where Nature points we belong. To appreciate primitive wisdom Look facts in the face as they are. And yield to unchanging conditions. Then follow your own guiding star. Sweet Charity feeds upon hunger; Men strive for the plenty in store; Such struggling induces our growing, And stronger all men than before. But its better to give even chances; To live and let live in your day. Compensation attends ev ry purpose Gather little or much, you must pay. So, avoid any unfair advantage; Do all in your power for the weak. Not because of your own sublime goodness, But that selfish contentment you seek.
