creed (adj.)
The Athanasian Creed is the most splendid ecclesiastical lyric ever poured forth by the genius of man.
Nor knowest thou what argument
Thy life to thy neighbor's creed has lent.
All are needed by each one;
Nothing is fair or good alone.
We have a Calvinistic creed, a Popish liturgy, and an Arminian clergy.
Necessity is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
Go put your creed into your deed,
Nor speak with double tongue.
Sapping a solemn creed with solemn sneer.
Great God! I 'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn,
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea,
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
