That charity is bad which takes from independence its proper pride, from mendicity its salutary shame.
Robert SoutheyLove is indestructible, Its holy flame forever burneth; From heaven it came, to heaven returneth.
Robert SoutheyFrom its fountains In the mountains, Its rills and its gills; Through moss and through brake, It runs and it creeps For awhile till it sleeps In its own little Lake. And thence at departing, Awakening and starting, It runs through the reeds And away it proceeds, Through meadow and glade, In sun and in shade, And through the wood-shelter, Among crags in its flurry, Helter-skelter, Hurry-scurry.
