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 ?
