Born to no pride, inheriting no strife Nor marrying discord in a noble Wife; Stranger to civil & religious rage The good man walk'd innoxious thro' his age: No courts he saw, no suits would ever try, Nor dare'd an oath, -- nor hazarded a lie. Unlearn'd he knew no schoolman's subtle art No language but the language of the heart; By nature honest, by experience wise [[underline]] Healthy by temperance & [[/underline]] Pope A tear for pity, & a hand Open as day, for melting charity.
