How many bitter tears has not the vain to shed...

How many bitter tears has not the vain to shed, Ere arrogance can be expelled, and pride be dead! The malady of Satan,-self-conceit:-"I'm best," 1 Exists in germ in every panting human breast. These fancy they have mortified themselves throughout. Take them to be pure streams; their filth seek in the grout. Just stir them up a little, for a trial's sake; Thou’lt see their mud discolour all the water's lake.
