But when t' examine ev'ry part he came,

The opening lines
not only give a general summary of the design, but
serve well to exemplify the ruling merits of the
composition : —
" Where blooms the myrtle and the olive flings
Its aromatic breath upon the air ;
Where the sad bird of Night forever sings
Meet anthems for the children of Despair,
Who, silently, with wild
dishevelled
hair,
Stray through those valleys of perpetual bloom ;
Where hideous War and Murder from their lair
Stalk forth in awful and terrific gloom,
Rapine and Vice disport on Glory's gilded tomb :
'* My fancy pensive pictures youthful Love,
Ill-starred yet trustful, truthful and sublime
As ever angels chronicled above :
The sorrowings of Beauty in her prime ;
Vurtue's reward ; the punishment of Crime ;
The dark, inscrutable decrees of Fate ;

That not in fancy's maze he wandered long:
But stooped to truth, and moralised his song:
That not for fame, but virtue's better end,
He stood the furious foe, the timid friend,
The damning critic, half approving wit,
The coxcomb hit, or fearing to be hit;
Laughed at the loss of friends he never had,
The dull, the proud, the wicked, and the mad;
The distant threats of vengeance on his head,
The blow unfelt, the tear he never shed;
The tale revived, the lie so oft o'erthrown,
The imputed trash, and dulness not his own;
The morals blackened when the
writings
scape,
The libelled person, and the pictured shape;
Abuse, on all he loved, or loved him, spread,
A friend in exile, or a father, dead;
The whisper, that to greatness still too near,
Perhaps, yet vibrates, on his sovereign's ear:--
Welcome for thee, fair virtue!

Gioseffo, but
Fra Paolo, so far from returning evil for evil, although he- knew the
author of the libel above mentioned, did not punish him but permitted
him to enjoy an honorable employment; however, after Fra Paolo's
death, these
calumnies
and other delinquencies were the cause of his
banishment from the dominions of Venetia, but such was Paolo's charity
that when he received the greatest wrong his expression of counte-
nance Was most serene, and he endeavored to extenuate the offence as much
as possible, usually saying, that such an one's brain was touched, and that
in his position, or for his own interest, he could not do otherwise.

Question: |
Why did Fra Paolo not punish the author of the libel mentioned and instead allowed him to enjoy an honorable employment? |
Answer: |
Fra Paolo did not punish the author of the libel mentioned and instead allowed him to enjoy an honorable employment because he was known for his gentleness and did not seek revenge. Despite knowing the author of the libel, Fra Paolo did not return evil for evil. After Fra Paolo's death, the author of the libel was eventually banished from the dominions of Venetia due to his calumnies and other delinquencies. Fra Paolo's charity was such that even when he received the greatest wrong, his expression of countenance was most serene, and he endeavored to extenuate the offense as much as possible. He usually said that the offender's brain was touched and that in his position or for his own interest, he could not do otherwise. |
