BETTER.

By Sir W. A. Becket

GRIEF banished by wine will come again, And come with a deeper shade, Leaving, perchance, on the soul a stain That sorrow hath not made. Then fill not the tempting glass for me; If mournful, I will not be mad ; Better sad because we sinful be Than sinful because we are sad.
—Sir W. A. Becket.
