As well try to stem ocean-tide, As stop slander’s vile tongue, Engulfs many victims, spreads wide, The very best among. A hydra-headed monster ’tis, Mash one, another springs Up against, and hideous is, As vile venom at flings. , Attacks the flower of the land, Jps highest it has slain — And laid them low in earth’s cold sand, Made writhe in bitter pain. No matter how innocent are, If once of takes a hold, Ever clings to, still follows far; Can’t loose, so trong and bold. 0 pause before you listen to This grinning monster dread, Believe only that which you know, Not that hear falsely said — And only bad, ignorant do, Sad in majority. Never asks if a thing is true, Or wait the truth to see. Evil themselves, so such believe, Prefer the bad to good— For bad, "slander easy -to de ceive. j Where good, truth perish would. G.
