FALSE WEIGHT.
If thou art fair, deal lady fair,
And let the scales be even;
Forbid the prising beam to rear,
And pull thee down from Heaven.
And let the scales be even;
Forbid the prising beam to rear,
And pull thee down from Heaven.
Dost thou desire to die in peace,
For every sin forgiven;
Give back my right, my weight decrease,
And mount like mine to Heaven.
For every sin forgiven;
Give back my right, my weight decrease,
And mount like mine to Heaven.

Rather give over to the poor,
Take ten and give eleven;
Or else be fair, I ask no more,
'Tis all required of Heaven.
Take ten and give eleven;
Or else be fair, I ask no more,
'Tis all required of Heaven.
And when on thee for pay I call,
Which is but four for seven;
Keep nothing back, but pay it all,
It is not hid from Heaven.
Which is but four for seven;
Keep nothing back, but pay it all,
It is not hid from Heaven.
Remember hence, the sentence past,
The truth in Scriptures given;
Last shall be first, and first be last,
In time, in earth and Heaven.
The truth in Scriptures given;
Last shall be first, and first be last,
In time, in earth and Heaven.
