CHARITY IN THOUGHT, by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: To praise men as good, and to take them for such Last Line: To god, thy conscience, and the grave. | ||||||||
To praise men as good, and to take them for such, Is a grace, which no soul can mete out to a tittle; -- Of which he who has not a little too much, Will by Charity's gage surely have much too little. Humility the Mother of Charity Frail creatures are we all! To be the best, Is but the fewest faults to have: -- Look thou then to thyself, and leave the rest To God, thy conscience, and the grave. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A DAY DREAM by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE A THOUGHT SUGGESTED BY A VIEW, OF SADDLEBACK IN CUMBERLAND by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE AN INVOCATION; SONG, FR.
