 Whoso discerns in truth the true, and sees

The false in falseness with unblinded eye,

He doth attain to knowledge. Life with these

Aims well before they die.

As rain breaks through an ill-thatched roof, so break

Passions through minds which holy thoughts despise:

As rain runs from a well-laid roof—so shake

Their passions off, the wise.

The Evil-doer mourneth this life long

And mourneth in the life to come. In both

He grieveth. When he seeth fruit of wrong

To see he will be loath.

The righteous man in this world hath his boot,

And in the world to come. From both he takes

Pleasaunce. When he doth see his works bear fruit

The good sight gladness makes.
