"And is there care in heaven? and is there love In heavenly spirits to these creatures base That may compassion of their evils move? There is:-else much more wretched were the case Of men than beasts: But oh! the exceeding grace Of Highest God that loves His creatures so, And all His works with mercy doth embrace, That blessed Angels He sends to and fro, To serve to wicked man, to serve His wicked foe!" - Spenser
