“Virtue and sense are one; and trust me stillA faithless heart betrays the head unsound.Virtue (for mere good nature is a fool)Is sense and spirit with humanity.’Tis sometimes angry, and its frown confounds;’Tis even vindictive, but in vengeance just,Knaves fain would laugh at it; some great ones dareBut at his heart the most undaunted sonOf Fortune dreads its name and awful charms.”
