SLANDER.
C V URS’D Slander with its forked tongue,
l Emits a deadly found,
And widely thro’ the yielding air
Difpcrfe3 potion round.
4
Fair names which at the early morn,
Their snow-white leaves did fprcad,
Beneath detraflion’s with’ring blast
Begin ere night to fade.
Truth’s bridle from his cruel jaws
The Sland’rer throws aside,
And tamely yields his lawless tongue,
\>r ialfehood’s hand to guide.
’lis base, O man ! behind the back .
The fatal bow to Bring,
Or at thy neighbour quite unarm’d,
The poifou’d dart to ding.
Amidst the faults of fellow-men
Why Bill thy fingers dip,
Or from their follies buried long
Oblivion’s cov’ring Blip?
Might not thy cheek with blulhes glow
To blaze his foibles round,
When greater ills about thyfelf
On flightcß search are found ?
