In thy front and in thine eyes I detect some of that diviner glory which belonged to thy race.

Thou hast in thee some germs of their hereditary genius, but they are choked up by worse than thy hereditary vices.

Recollect, by genius thy house rose,--by vice it ever failed to perpetuate its power.

In the laws which regulate the Universe it is decreed that nothing wicked can long endure.

Be wise, and let history warn thee.
