WHAT IS CHARITY.
BY THE BOSTON BARD.

Tis not to pause, when at my door
A trembling brother stauds,
To ask the cause that made him poor
Or why he help demands.
Tis not to spurn brothers prayer,
For faults he once had done
'Tis not to leave him to despair,
And say that have none.
The voice of charity is kind,
She thinketh nothing wrong,
To every fault she seemeth blind,
s Nor yaunteth with her tongue.
In penitence she placeth faith,
Hope smileth at her door,
Believeth fist, then softhiy saith,
Go, brother-sin no more.
