    How calm, how beautiful comes on
    The stilly hour, when storms are gone!
    When warring winds have died away,
    And clouds, beneath the glancing ray,
    Melt off, and leave the land and sea
    Sleeping in bright tranquillity.

Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.

So may the outward shows be least themselves;
The world is still deceived with ornament.
In law, read more

So may the outward shows be least themselves;
The world is still deceived with ornament.
In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt
But being seasoned with a gracious voice,
Obscures the show of evil? In religion,
What damned error but some sober brow
Will bless it and approve it with a text,
Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?
