VOTIVE TABLETS: THE SCIENCE OF POLITICS by JOHANN CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH VON SCHILLER

First Line: ALL THAT THOU DOST BE RIGHT -- TO THAT ALONE CONFINE THY VIEW
Last Line: FALSE ZEAL WOULD SOUND AND PERFECT MAKE THE SOMETHING THAT'S TO BE!
Subject(s): POLITICS & GOVERNMENT;
ALL that thou dost be right — to that alone confine thy view,
And halt within the certain rule — the All that's right to do!
True zeal @3the what already is@1 would sound and perfect see;
False zeal would sound and perfect make the something that's to be!
