IS there a man, in vice and folly bred,
To sense of honour as to virtue dead;
Whom ties nor human, nor divine, can bind;
Alien to GOD, and foe to all mankind;
Who spares no character; whose ev'ry word,
Bitter as gall, and sharper than the sword,
Cuts to the quick; whose thoughts with rancour swell:
Whose tongue, on earth, performs the work of Hell?
If there be such a monster, the REVIEWS
Shall find him holding forth against Abuse.
"Attack Profession! — 'tis a deadly breach! —
"The Christian laws another lesson teach: —
"Unto the end should charity endure,
"And Candour hide those faults it cannot cure. "
Thus Candour's maxims flow from Rancour's throat,
As devils, to serve their purpose, Scripture quote.
