"Doth Virtue in thy bosom brighter glow, / Or from a Spring more pure doth Action flow? / Is not thy Soul bound with those very chains / Which shackle us, or is that SELF, which reigns / O'er Kings and Beggars, which in all we see / Most strong and sov'reign, only weak in Thee?"

"Quit then, in prudence quit, that idle train / Of toys, which have so long abus'd thy brain, / And captive led thy pow'rs; with boundless will / Let SELF maintain her state and empire still."
