Isaac Watts - Against Quarreling and FightingIsaac Watts - Against Quarreling and Fighting
Work rating: Low


Let dogs delight to bark and bite,       For God hath made them so: Let bears and lions growl and fight,       For `tis their nature, too.   But, children, you should never let       Such angry passions rise: Your little hands were never made       To tear each other`s eyes.   Let love through all your actions run,       And all your words be mild: Live like the blessed Virgin`s Son,       That sweet and lovely child.   His soul was gentle as a lamb;       And as his stature grew, He grew in favor both with man,       And God his Father too.   Now, Lord of all, he reigns above;       And from his heavenly throne He sees what children dwell in love,       And marks them for his own.
