…If the great end be human happiness,
Then Nature deviates; can man do less?
As much that end a constant course requires
Of showers and sunshine, as of man’s desires;
As much eternal springs and cloudless skies,
As men forever temperate, calm and wise.
If plagues or earthquakes break not Heaven’s design,
Why then a Borgia, or a Catiline?
Who knows but he whose hand the lightning forms,
Who heaves old ocean, and who wings the storms,
Pours fierce ambition in Caesar’s mind,
Or turns young Ammon loose to scourge mankind?
Alexander Pope
