Remind your brother when he neglects a duty,
Remind your brother if he forgets a duty
or a shortcoming appears in his judgments;
Or is remiss in his views and opinions

for judgment rusts like a keen sword from an affliction
For opinion rusts like a sword from disuse
that comes upon it, and reminders are its polish.
Sharpen it with the whetstone of reminder
