They Say

And, though ali scandal We bewail,
We let the story go.
Its truth I've cannot testify;
/ We tell IL In this way
"fou have IL Just as cheap as ],
- IL Z only what they say"
Who dares the odious charges make
A good name steal away ?
To tell We couldn't undertake.
We know that's what they say
It's naught % Us some happy heart
F0rgets its merry song,
Some soul receives the poisoned dart
And bows beneath the wrong;
Naugut that the purpose Of a life
II thwarted, turned away,
That pride Is cut as by knife,
By what they" have 70 say,
on, no; simply lend ear
And mouth 10 g0Estp's use;
We do not youCh for what we near,
Or tell of her abuse.
But though we're careless Of the way
Our stories have their birth,
There's One who knows Just what they say
And what that SAY Is WORTH
