John Newton (Джон Ньютон)

True and False Zeal

Zeal is that pure and heavenly flame,
The fire of love supplies;
While that which often bears the name,
Is self in a disguise.
True zeal is merciful and mild,
Can pity and forbear;
The false is headstrong, fierce and wild,
And breathes revenge and war.

4. Sampson's Lion
5. Father Forgive Them
