VERSE III.
He that reviles not, or with cruel words
(Deadly as venome, sharp as two-edg'd swords)
Murthers his Friends repute, nor dares believe
That Rumor which his neighbor's soul may grieve:
(Deadly as venome, sharp as two-edg'd swords)
Murthers his Friends repute, nor dares believe
That Rumor which his neighbor's soul may grieve:
But with kind words embalms his bleeding Name,
Wipes off the rust, and polishes his fame.
Wipes off the rust, and polishes his fame.
