Sincerity, Thou first of virtues! let no mortal leave Thy onward path, although the earth should gape, And from the gulf of hell destruction cry, To take dissimulation's winding way.
I endeavoured to defend that pathetick and beautiful tragedy, and repeated the following passage: "... Sincerity, Thou first of virtues! let no mortal leave Thy onward path, although the earth should gape, And from the gulph of hell destruction cry. To take dissimulation's winding way." JOHNSON. 'That will not do, sir.

'That will not do, Sir. Nothing is good but what is consistent with truth or probability, which this is not. Juvenal, indeed, gives us a noble picture of inflexible virtue:
O where is he who hath surveyed The horrors of our own 'slave trade? "There is an eye that wakes in light, There is a hand of peerless might; Which, soon or late, shall yet assail And rend dissimulation's veil: Which will unfold the masquerade Which justifies our own 'slave trade." WE shall now return to Natchez, where we left Currer in the hands of the Methodist parson.
