A WINDOW IN THE BREAST by ANONYMOUS

First Line: COULD WE BUT SEE MEN AS THEY ARE!
Last Line: A FRIEND A FRIEND FOR ALL IN ALL!

COULD we but see men as they are!
Could bare the breast, unpin it,
Hold it apart, and view the heart,
And read what lies within it;
Then close it fast again, and call
A friend a friend for all in all!
