For Art May Err, But Nature Cannot

But Wild Ambition Loves To Slide, Not Stand, And Fortune's Ice Prefers To Virtue's Land.

No King Nor Nation One Moment Can Retard The Appointed Hour.

Self-defense Is Nature's Eldest Law.

A Lively Faith Will Bear Aloft The Mind, And Leave The Luggage Of Good Works Behind.

Thus, While The Mute Creation Downward Bend Their Sight, And To Their Earthly Mother Ten, Man Looks Aloft; And With Erected Eyes Beholds His Own Hereditary Skies.
