"If there be merit in a man, bold it well forth
To the admiring world, forming for bim a wreath of fame,
A stimulus to th' indolence of others :—but if there be
Aught evil, or mistaken, set it up a Beacon unto all;
Boldly declaring every where the Truth unleaven'd,
According to the dictates of calm well-pois`d judgment.
Thus shall thine office aid the common weal;—
While thou should'st fear, in the discharge of these thy duties,
No enemy but error, and should'st esteem all praise as light,
Save the congratulations of thine own pure conscience."
