Let

Let politicians claim virtue, and abandon honest men. Let the poor inherit promises, and be comfortable servants. Let the famous enjoy advantage, and carry no favors in heaven. Let physicians prescribe hope, and a worthy price be paid. Let education forge solutions, and notorious liars lose favor. Let simple humanity be rewarded, and tyranny reap the sorrow of death.
