VOTIVE TABLETS: CORRECTNESS by JOHANN CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH VON SCHILLER

First Line: THE CALM CORRECTNESS, WHERE NO FAULT WE SEE
Last Line: THE POOL'S DULL STAGNER — THE GREAT SEA'S REPOSE.

THE calm correctness, where no fault we see,
Attests Art's loftiest or its least degree;
Alike the smoothness of the surface shows
The Pool's dull stagner — the great Sea's repose.
