SONG.
[How gladly we hear the Scandal]
How gladly we hear the ScandalWhich blackens our Neighbour's Fame,
Ill-nature soon takes a Handle
To ridicule and cry Shame;
But when for our own dear Failings,
We meet from the World a Return,
Impatient we curse their Railings,
And swear it is not to be borne.
