1. The weak shrub grows vicious, so don’t blame
A man when you see him grow vicious too.

2. And when envied, it is a virtue’s thanks
Not to reproach the envier when he harms.

3. It is a misery that you must lose sleep
To reform one who nature made corrupt.

4. Religion is a dead man's merchandise, so
You’ll find none peddling it but charlatans.
