EPIGRAM CCXXVIII.

[Tradition's tale, time out of mind]

AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM.

Tradition's tale, time out of mind,
Paints Fortune, Love, and Justice, blind:
And yet in this description's spite,
They'd make amends for loss of sight,
And save mankind a world of pother,
Would they but listen to each other:
327

Think what rich comforts life might blend,
Did Love, when Justice calls, attend;
Did Justice, Fortune's deed approve;
And Fortune hear the claims of Love!
