Jean-Baptiste Molière

Tartuffe / or The Hypocrite

  • Yevgeny Nitsenkohar citeretfor 3 år siden
    leante. It's just like you to get carried away!
    You can never stick to the middle way.
    To reason rightly is too much bother;
    You always rush from one excess to another.
    You can see your error and now you know
    That by a false zeal you were brought low.
    But to redeem yourself does logic demand
    That you embrace an error that's even more grand?
    And must you confuse the heart of a shill
    With the hearts of all the men of good will?
    Because a rascal had the luck or grace
    To dupe you with his austere and shining face,
    Must you believe everyone acts that way
    And no true church-man can be found today?
    Leave to libertines these foolish deductions.
    Seek true virtue, not a false deconstruction.
    Never rush into hasty admiration,
    And strive instead for moderation.
    If possible, don't admire false pretense,
    But also don't give true zeal cause for offense,
    And if you must fall to one extreme,
    Err in being too free with your esteem.
