Beasts are the subjects of tyrannic sway,Where still the stronger on the weaker prey;Man only of a softer mold is made,Not for his fellows' ruin, but their aid. The Hind and the Panther (1687)
Ambition, Interest, Pride without control,And Jealousy, the jaundice of the soul;Revenge, the bloody minister of ill,With all the lean tormentors of the will. The Hind and the Panther (1687)
