Ye therefore who love mercy, teach your sons to love it, too.

Ye therefore who love mercy, teach your sons to love it, too.

William Cowper

Love, Son, Mercy

William Cowper (1854). “The Poetical Works of William Cowper”, p.143

Mansions once Knew their own masters, and laborious hinds, That had surviv'd the father, serv'd the son. Now the legitimate and rightful lord Is but a transient guest, newly arrived, And soon to be supplanted. He that saw His patrimonial timber cast its leaf, Sells the last scantling, and transfers the price To some shrewd sharper ere it buds again. Estates are landscapes, gazed upon awhile, Then advertised and auctioneer'd away.

William Cowper

Father, Son, Bud

William Cowper (1828). “The Poems of William Cowper”, p.227
