Aesop at Court | ||
The MORAL.
Tho' discord forms the Elements for War,
Their well pois'd Strength prevents the fatal Jar:
Harmonious Nature sets the Ballance right,
And each compels the other to Unite.

25
In Empire thus true Union is maintain'd,
Each Power's by a Subordinate restrain'd:
But when like raging Waves they overflow,
Their stated Bounds, and on the weaker grow:
Thrice happy Realms! where there are Patriots found,
To check Invadors, and maintain their Ground.
