One truth is clear, Whatever is is right.

Who sees with equal eye, as God of all,
A hero perish, or a sparrow fall,
Atoms read more

Who sees with equal eye, as God of all,

And now a bubble burst, and now a world.

Thus unlamented pass the proud away,
The gaze of fools and pageant of a day;
So perish read more

The gaze of fools and pageant of a day;

For others' good, or melt at others' woe.
