AS THYSELF' by ANONYMOUS

First Line: SEEST THOU A FAULT IN ANY OTHER?
Last Line: GOD'S IN THAT LIFE; THIS IS HIS DUTY
Subject(s): BROTHERHOOD;SELF;

SEEST thou a fault in any other?
Look in, not out; he is thy brother.
Thou hast it too — and yet another.

Hear'st thou a word against a woman?
Stand out! how else canst thou be true man?
Christ heard such word — and Christ was human.

Know'st thou a life sans good and beauty?
Hold not aloof! 'T will not pollute thee.
God's in that life; this is His duty.
