Brothers! Spare reasoning; – men have settled long
That ye are out of date, and they are wise;
Use their own weapons; let your words be strong,
Your cry be loud, till each scared boaster flies.
Thus the Apostles tamed the pagan breast,
They argued not, but preach’d; and conscience did the rest.
The Religion of Cain
