This Charity conforms in this, as in everything else, to its Divine model "As many as I love I rebuke and chasten" when necessary for the good of its object, for He doth not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men, any more than a father willingly chastises a disobedient child; but, if he be a wise father, he will do it because he loves it.
It is the God of liberty, Señor Simoun, who obliges us to love it, by making the yoke heavy for us a God of mercy, of equity, who while He chastises us, betters us and only grants prosperity to him who has merited it through his efforts. The school of suffering tempers, the arena of combat strengthens the soul.
"My friend! and you treat me thus!" "He who loves well chastises well," said Chicot, redoubling his proofs of friendship. "Now," said he, "go and sleep at the Corne d'Abondance." "I can no longer see my way," cried the monk, from whose eyes tears were falling. "Ah!" said Chicot, "if you wept for the wine you have drunk! However, I will guide you."
The stile seems to be unnatural for a poem which is intended to raise laughter; for that laboured gravity has rather a contrary influence; disposing the mind to be serious: and the disappointment is not small, when a man finds he has been betrayed into solemn thinking, in reading the description of a trifle; if the gravity of the phrase chastises the laughter, the purpose of the poem is defeated, and it is a rule in writing to suit the language to the subject.
And it shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and will reward them their doings." These prophecies of Hosea are instinct with a severe morality; the ethical thoroughness with which he chastises the national sins is unflinching; but it is not all threatening; now and again we hear the word of tenderness, the promise of the divine forgiveness:
He went back to his wife and knelt down on her tapestried cushion. "Cornelia, how are you?" "In God's hands," whispered the lady, raising her glorious eyes. "God chastises and is merciful as it seemeth Him good." Her convulsive pressure showed Vértessy what she must be suffering. "There is mercy with God," faintly murmured the lady once more. Vértessy felt his heart tremble at these words.
He, on the other hand, that destroys, chastises, sharpens his weapons, injures, causes us to sigh, makes us cheerless, and wrongs us in diverse ways, is a foe. All these attributes are to be found in thee and thou discoverest all of them in me.
"Why are you here, senor?" demanded the former, at length. "Partly, senor, because such is my pleasure. Partly, to inform you that your presence here offends me, and to humbly request you to be off." "Senor, this is an impertinence." "Senor, one is not impertinent to prowling greasers. One admonishes them, and, if they do not obey, one chastises them."
Gnosian Rhadamanthus here holds unrelaxing sway, chastises secret crime revealed, and exacts confession, wheresoever in the upper world one vainly exultant in stolen guilt hath till the dusk of death kept clear from the evil he wrought.
WALLENSTEIN. It is his evil genius and mine. Our evil genius! It chastises him Through me, the instrument of his ambition; And I expect no less, than that revenge E'en now is whetting for my breast the poinard. Who sows the serpent's teeth let him not hope To reap a joyous harvest.
