Divine Justice
IF I could think that e'er by Heaven's sure will
One sole injustice had on Earth been done,
Then, cursing God and hiding from the sun,
Both soul and body would I seek to kill;
Or could I such a purpose ne'er fulfil
(Since all my veins of inmost being run
With blood immortal), then would I be one
Whom age on age would find a rebel still. -
Yet well I know that ere the first-born day,
Divinely one with my co-equals, I,
Serene within the Godhead, chose, as they,
Freely my after lot, for ends most high
Agreed with them to walk Time's dolorous way,
Prescribed each sorrow, and foreknew each sigh.
