English poem
The CONCLUSION
by Anonymous
But who can tell the various Views, The various Projects Man pursues? The States, Conditions, Characters, In which Humanity appears?
O! were our narrow Views more wide, Did human Race our Cares divide; The tender social Tear would rise; The social Bosom sympathize. The Heart of Charity would bleed, And round her gentle Influence shed. Benevolence would open wide The generous Wish, to none deny'd. Nay, Vice appal'd in her Career, Should feel Remorse and drop a Tear. Oppression break her Rod of Steel, And senseless Tyrants Pity feel.
