[In a speech of William Pitt to the House of Commons]
. . . Rather let prudence and temperance come first from
this side; I will undertake for America, that she will
follow the example.  There are two lines in a ballad of
Prior's, so applicable to you and your colonies, I cannot
help repeating them;
  "To her faults a little blind,
   To her virtues very kind.". . .
