“G RACE enough a man may have
that sinneth anew, if he repent;
he must it crave with sorrow and sighs,
and bide the pain thereto is bound;
but Reason, straying not from right,
saveth the innocent evermore;
for 'tis a doom that God ne'er gave,
that ever the guiltless should be shamed.
The guilty may contrition find,
and be by Mercy led to Grace;
but into guile who glided ne'er,
in innocence, is saved by right.
