What can ennoble fots, .or flaves, or cowards ? Alas ! not all the blood of all the Howards.
Página 91 - The same self-love, in all, becomes the cause Of what restrains him, government and laws. For, what one likes, if others like as well, What serves one will, when many wills rebel ? How shall he keep, what, sleeping or awake, A weaker may surprise, a stronger take? His safety must his liberty restrain : All join to guard what each desires to gain.
Página xv - But as he fram'da whole, the whole to bless, On mutual wants built mutual happiness : So from the first, eternal Order ran, And creature link'd to creature, man to man.
