Curse on all laws, but those that love has made.
Curse on all laws, but those that love has made.
Like Cato, give his little senate laws, and sit attentive to his own applause.
Mark what unvaried laws preserve each state, Laws wise as Nature, and as fixed as Fate.
Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell,
Aspiring to be angels, men rebel:
And who but wishes to invert the laws
Of order, sins against th' Eternal Cause.
When souls each other draw,
When love is liberty, and nature, law:
All then is full, possessing, and possess'd,
No craving void left aching in the breast:
Ev'n thought meets thought, ere from the lips it part,
And each warm wish springs mutual from the heart.
Judge not of actions by their mere effect Dive to the center, and the cause detect. Great deeds from meanest springs may take their course, And smallest virtues from a mighty source.
Order is natures first law.
True friendship's laws are by this rule expressed, Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest.
Order is heaven's first law.
