" Nature ne'er taught that elder creed to man.
Էջ 198 - Nature ne'er bid all nations worship heaven In sacrifice : — ne'er bid them shed the gore Of man or beast ? Such light could not be given The untaught heart of man ? And yet before That blessed time when hell's strong chains were riven, All nations worshipp'd thus. On every shore, In worlds unknown of old, that rite we find.
