Old-Fashioned Ethics and Common-Sense Metaphysics

EPILOGUE.

Reading edition

If with rash step, or with presumptuous word I have transgressed, or with unshrinking eye Have sought to pierce the awful mystery That veils thy Godhead, yet forgive me, Lord! Thou knowest that I sought not to draw nigh Thy Throne, save that my witness might record More truly of Thine attributes, whereby On Earth, e'en as in Heaven, might be adored The fulness of Thy glory. Not in wrath His trespass wilt Thou judge, whom, licence, bred Of zeal, though blinded, yet devout, betrays, Nor scorn the unconscious wanderer from Thy path, Nor leave me hopeless, if indeed misled By thirst for truth, more deep in error's maze.
