What a terrible thing to be a great lord, yet a wicked man.
Nothing can be fairer, or more noble, than the holy fervor of true zeal.
To create a public scandal is what's wicked; to sin in private is not a sin.
Sometimes I feel something akin to rage At the corrupted morals of this age!
We are all mortals, and each is for himself.
I might, by chance, write something just as shoddy; But then I wouldn't show it to everybody.
