LINES WRITTEN ON A PAGE OF THE MONTHLY REVIEW by WILLIAM COWPER

Poet Analysis

First Line: THESE CRITICS, WHO TO FAITH NO QUARTER GRANT
Last Line: THAN CHRIST'S OWN SERVANT, OR THAT SERVANT'S MASTER.
Subject(s): CRITICS & CRITICISM;
(WHICH HAD SPOKEN OF MR. NEWTON'S OPINIONS AS CANT)

THESE critics, who to faith no quarter grant,
But call it mere hypocrisy and cant
To make a just acknowledgment of praise,
And thanks to God for governing our ways,
Approve Confucius more, and Zoroaster,
Than christ's own servant, or that servant's Master.
