[Through fear of feeble man]

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart, &c. —xix. 17.

Through fear of feeble man,
Through want of social love,
Lord, I have made Thy precept vain,
Neglecting to reprove;
The' offender in mine eye
I suffer to go on,
A thousand sins in him pass'd by,
And made them all my own.
