Don't try 10 drive MN TO despair
With rude. unfeeling jest.
Don't laugh at portraits which display
His face with comic leer,
And when he gives his wealth away
Don't take it with a Sneer.

And keep his coin or give.

Before Your life is through.
Speak kindly. and remember he
Is human, Just like you.
