Page 123 - Virtue, for ever frail, as fair, below, Her tender nature suffers in the crowd, Nor touches on the world, without a stain : The world's infectious ; few bring back at eve, Immaculate, the manners of the morn. Something we thought, is blotted ; we resolved, Is shaken ; we renounced, returns again. Each salutation may slide in a sin Unthought before, or fix a former flaw.
Page 108 - Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.
