On me was hung he hrGmsde Gar.
For me the faint viii break ais word;
BY The proud Atheitt I'm reverb;
At me the coward draws his fword,
And by the hero an ieaI'd. .
Scorn'd by the meek and humble mind,
Yet often by the vain pohels'd;
Heard BY the deaf, feen by the blind,
And to the troubled cQnfcience>relt:
Than wifdom's facred felf I'm wifer,
And yet by every blockhead known;
I'm freely given by the infer,
Kept by the prodigal alone.
A vice deform'd, as virtue fair.
The courtier's lois, the patriots gains,
The poets purfe, the coxcOmb's care -
Rsad-and you'n have me for Yonr Pain'
