Virtue's his path; but sometimes 'tis too narrow For his vast soul; and then he starts out wide, And bounds into a vice.

Virtue's his path; but sometimes 'tis too narrow For his vast soul; and then he starts out wide, And bounds into a vice.

美德是他的路径;但有时对他广阔的心灵来说，这条路太窄了;然后他开始变宽，跳进了虎钳。

-- John Dryden 约翰·德莱登
