“For by superior energies; more strict
Affiance in each other; faith more firm
In their unhallowed principles, the bad
Have fairly earned a victory o’er the weak,
The vacillating, inconsistent good.”

as though nothing else were happening.
Generation after generation,
I go her way.”

Is like a mansion built upon the sand.”
