IN DEBT by HARRY HIBBARD KEMP

First Line: EACH MAN A GENERAL DEBT TO MANKIND OWES
Last Line: IS JUST SO MANY STAGES LESS A MAN.
Subject(s): DEBT;

EACH man a general debt to mankind owes
For all he is, all he enjoys, and knows,—
And he who dares the least of men to ban
Is just so many stages less a man.
