Take Heed Lest Passion Sway

Evil, Be Thou My Good.

So Spake The Seraph Abdiel, Faithful Found; Among The Faithless, Faithful Only He.

Hail Holy Light, Offspring Of Heav'n Firstborn!

Impostor; Do Not Charge Most Innocent Nature, As If She Would Her Children Should Be Riotous With Her Abundance; She, Good Cateress, Means Her Provision Only To The Good, That Live According To Her Sober Laws, And Holy Dictate Of Spare Temperance.

Who Kills A Man Kills A Reasonable Creature, God's Image; But He Who Destroys A Good Book, Kills Reason Itself, Kills The Image Of God, As It Were, In The Eye.
