"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
