Remember those with homes of glass

II we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
IT'S better we commence at home,

We have no right to judge man,
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults, and who has not
The old as well as young,
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of a better plan,
And find it works full we'll:
To try my own defects to cure,
Before of others tell.
And though sometimes hope to be
No worse than some ! know,
Ny own shortcomings bid me let

Then let W all, when we commence

Think of the harm one may do
To those who little know.
Remember curses, sometimes, like
Our chickens. "roost At hone;;'
