“This having learnt, thou hast attained the sum
Of Wisdom; hope no higher, though all the Stars Thou knew’st by name, and all th’ ethereal Powers, All secrets of the deep, all Nature’s works, Or works of God in Heav’n,
Air, Earth, or Sea, And all riches of this World enjoy’dst,
And all the rule, one Empire: only add
Deeds to thy knowledge answerable,
add Faith, add Virtue, Patience, Temperance, add Love,
By name to come called Charity, the soul
Of all the rest: then wilt though not be loth
To leave this Paradise, but shalt possess
A paradise within thee, happier far.”
― Paradise Lost
