RELIEF AND TRUTH .
Relief , of charity the soul , Whose lib ' ral gifts from pole to pole extend , Scorn mean restraint , disdain control , And give alike to enemy and friend . Empty distinctions here contemned fall , For true relief is bounteous to all .
Nor is with paler glory Truth array'd , In bright simplicity she shines carest ; She conquers fraud , dispels its gloomy shade , And brings conviction to the doubtful breast . Should e ' er duplicity our ears assail ,
And fluent , forge an artful , specious tale ; It may our easy faith awhile deceive , But when the radiant goddess silence breaks , Decision follows , 'tis fair Truth who speaks , And bam ' sh'd falsehood can no longer live . 2 H 2
