BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.
In speaking of a persons faults

In speaking of a persons faults
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember, those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin.
It's better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
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 we'll as young:
Perhaps we may, for ought we know,
Have fifty to their one.

I'll tell you OF better plan
You'll find it works full we'll
To try your own defects to cure
Before you Others tell;
And though l sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember, curses, sometimes like
Our chickens, 'rOOSt at hOme.''
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.
