THE THREE LAWS by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: LOVE IS THE GOLDEN LAW
Last Line: JOINING FOR AYE!
Subject(s): ANGER; JUSTICE; LOVE;
Love is the golden law,
Sunnily dear;
Justice, the silver law,
Cold, calm, and clear;
Anger, the iron law,
Harshly severe.

Anger's an iron lance,
Mighty to slay;
Justice, a silver scale,
Faultless alway;
Love is a golden ring,
Joining for aye!
