70 THE APISTOPHILON THE DISBELIEVER: LXXXV Both time and force are lost in useless prayer As blows that beat upon the empty air, A senseless babble or a heartless rite Cannot for work or weal the soul prepare. LXXXVI And why should man in praying waste his days Or spend his breath in singing fulsome praise Must God be flattered into doing right ? He worships best that duty most obeys. LXXXVII To hold that Nature's fixed and stable power Is changed thro' prayer is wrong. When comes the hour Of T...rial, man will be left in impotence And new-born Grief shall all his strength devour. NOTES LXXXVIII Self-conquest is the greatest of victories. PLATO. LXXXIX They that deny a God destroy man's nobility, for cer- tainly man is of kin to the beasts by his body; and if he be not of kin to God by his spirit, he is a base and ignoble creature. BACON Essays on Atheism. XC Cares not a pin what they said or may say. POPE. 72 THE APISTOPHILON THE DOUBTER: LXXXVIII That heart becomes an easy prey to Sin Whose morals from mere priest-born dogmas spring, When fails his creed, then falls integrity; Better a Soul hard trained by discipline.
