O baleful lure, to lead our feet astray!
If we deny the God within the breast,
The God without is but a feeble stay!
And where may Man's betravail'd spirit rest,
If Conscience is to lower realms deprest?—
Conscience, whose final judgment all await,
Strong in whose strength Man may think scorn of Fate!
