ks, and let the flame
Thy Garden's hot luxuriance tame,
Nor let it Flow'r, or Plant produce,
But what yields _Ornament_ or _Use_!
But soft--my _Muse_! thy Breath recall--
Turn not _Religion_'s Milk to Gall!
Let not thy _Zeal_ within thee nurse
A _holy Rage_, or _pious Curse_!
Far other is the _heav'nly Plan_,
Which the _Redeemer_ gave to Man,
Who taught the World in Peace to live,
And e'en _our Enemies_ forgive!
Live then, _ye Wretches_! to declare,
How long _our God_ with Men _can bear_!
A living Monument to be
Of the _Almighty_'s Clemency!
Who still is good, altho' You preach
Yourselves almost 'bove _Mercy_'s reach;
And, tho' his goodness You resist,
Can even spare a _Methodist_.
