Repentance is but want of power to sin.

The good we have enjoyed from Heaven's free will, and shall we murmur to endure the ill?

For all the happiness mankind can gain Is not in pleasure, but in rest from pain.

Reason to rule, mercy to forgive: The first is law, the last prerogative. Life is an adventure in forgiveness.
