    Of course you cannot know a man completely, his character, his principles, sense of judgement, not till he's shown his colors, ruling the people, making laws. Experience, there's the test.

    Seven matched with seven, at each gate one,Their captains, when the day was done,Left for our Zeus who turned the scale,The brazen tribute in full tale: -All save the horror-burdened pair,Dire children of despair,Who from one sire, one mother, drawing breath,Each with conquering lance in restAgainst a true born brother's breast,Found equal lots in death.

    Think, then, on these things, my son. All men are liable to err; but when an error hath been made, that man is no longer witless or unblest who heals the ill into which he hath fallen, and remains not stubborn.Self-will, we know, incurs the charge of folly.
