Whatever mitigates the woes,
or increases the happiness of others,
this is my criterion of goodness:
and whatever injures society
at large, or any individual in it,
this is my measure of iniquity. |

For thus the Royal mandate ran
When first the human race began
The social, friendly, honest man
Whate'er he be
'Tis he fulfils great Nature's plan
And none but he.
