"Oh win him back again!"
Upbraid him not A noble soul
No frail clay e'er embraced:
Upbraid him not, although the bowl
GODS image has defaced. .
Oh scorn him not! that bitter cup
He's drank to overflow;
For deep within his anguished breast
SeIfscorn strikes direst blow!
-ct him not He should not try
To be himself in vain:
He tain would mingle with the world,
And be a imam again.
For reasons sun again has dawned
Upon his darkened mind,
And, trembling at the danger nigh,
Some true relief he'd find.
Then stretch hand that man to save
From waves Of fiery sea!
He'lln ne'er forget your kindly. care
Oh! see him once more free!
