THE NARCISSUS. 
193 
Had Nature ta’en a second thought, 
A better precept she had taught, 
And good, instead of evil, wrought, 
By those the power possessing; 
For self had been put out of sight. 
The love of others brought to light, 
In short, the wrong had all been right. 
And man to man a blessing. 
Gould.
