BEFORE AND AFTER:



     SOME WAR - TIME ESSAYS



         They err, who count it glorious to subdue
       By conquest far and wide ; to overrun
       Large countries ; and in field great battles win,
       Great cities by assault : What do these worthies
       But rob, and spoil, burn, slaughter, and enslave
       Peaceable nations, neighboring or remote,
       Made captive, yet deserving freedom more
       Than those their conquerors, who leave behind
       Nothing but ruin wheresoe'er they rove,
       And pdl the flourishing works of peace destroy.

         But if there be in glory aught of good,
       It may by means far diflerent be attained,
       Without ambition, war, or violence;
       ' By deeds of peace, by wisdom eminent,
       . By patience, temperance.
                     From  Paradise Regained.
