Piatt conveys her
realist views about nature and society through this poem. She seems to
suggest that the world, like nature, is not always ideal. She paints a
rational picture of society: “And my subject, the dove, coos on, /
Though my hand creep close to her nest.” These lines convey how the
world is made up of good people and bad people. The dove represents the
people who are benign and trusting, even with those out to harm them.
The dubious actions of the narrator of the poem depict those people who
try to take advantage of the trust and loyalty of the gentle people. The
speaker is depicted as flawed and human. She can hurt others and also
be hurt by others. Piatt does not seem to adhere to the romantic
idealization of nature and women.
Our beliefs have many errors, i.e., deviations from truth.
Reducing error is important goal, for which we are willing to pay substantial costs.
The causes of our errors can be seen as ranging from context specific to general trends.
We in fact have many identifiable stable general error trends, in addition to legion context specific causes.
By reflecting on error causes, we can seek ways to adjust our pattens of thought and social institutions to reduce error.
For a substantial fraction of error causes, we can in fact find feasible adjustments.
It is often more cost-effective to seek and implement adjustments for general trends, than for context specific errors.

The Matthew passage conveys a downright opposite message to that of Orgon. It means that Tartuffe's piety is a spectacle, a theater show for Orgon and the masses to see. Tartuffe pompously prayed in church before the congregation (and Orgon, of course), kissing the ground all the time, pathetically sighing and demonstrating his piety very loudly.
