Canto III.
Of Divine Love (c. 1686)
Context: Could we forbear dispute, and practice love,
We should agree as angels do above.
Where love presides, not vice alone does find
No entrance there, hut virtues stay behind:
Both faith, and hope, and all the meaner train
Of mortal virtues, at the door remain.
Love only enters as a native there,
For born in heav'n, it does but sojourn here.

“Science and technology are what we can do; morality is what we agree we should or should not do.”

“Patience, a praise; forbearance is a treasure;
Sufferance, an angel is; a monster, rage.”

Of what the blessed do above
Is, that they sing, and that they love.”
