Forgiveness to the injured does belong;
But they ne'er pardon who have done the wrong.

Ere the base laws of servitude began,
When wild in woods the noble savage ran.

The Conquest of Granada (1669)

What precious drops are those
Which silently each other's track pursue,
Bright as young diamonds in their infant dew?

Fame then was cheap, and the first comer sped;
And they have kept it since by being dead.
