THREE GATES OF GOLD

By The Evangelist

If you are tempted to reveal A tale some one to you has told About another, make it pass, Before you speak, three gates of gold.
These narrow gates — first, “Is it true?” Then “Is it needful?” in your mind Give thankful answer; and the next Is last and narrowest, “Is it kind?”
And if to reach your lips at last It passes through these gateways three, Then you must tell the tale, nor fear What the result of speech may be.
— The Evangelist.
