By modest assertions, is confidence won. Be cautious at all times of what you profess. By speeches and courtesy full of deceit, A doubtful appearance is commonly vamp'd^ But where truth and probity cordially meet, A dignified character's certainly stamp'd. '§.^^«, 100 To forget an injury is the best rcvcno'c. ji\k Revenge is a crime of so various extent, That where to injustice it basely proceeds; The Laws of all countries take modes to pfcvcnt All studied, all hostile, nefarious deeds. But, wh...en spurr'd by the Devil in rancorous strife. The offender is found w ith malice to burn ; And in transport of rage, to take away life. He suic is to forfeit his life in return. With sword in his hand, w ith rage in his face, A veteran chief seems determin'd to enter A fort, that had long him annoy'd, to erase. And wholly destroy, liom its walls to its centre.
