Teach him how to live, And, oh still harder lesson! how to die.

More from Beilby Porteus

  1. War its thousands slays, Peace its ten thousands.
  2. One murder made a villain, Millions a hero. Princes were privileged To kill, and numbers sanctified the crime.
  3. In sober state, Through the sequestered vale of rural life, The venerable patriarch guileless held The tenor of his way.
