Alfred; an Epic Poem

'Alfred! be thou resolved
Well to perform thy part; and ever know
From whence assistance comes. Be this thy name,—
The Father of thy People! Cherish worth!
Where talent is, turn it to good! Prevent,
With Power's strong arm, all violence to men,
All cruelty to Brutes:—For God beholds,
With a paternal eye, his lowest works,
And hath appointed for th' unfeeling heart
Deep and peculiar punishments.
