Tattling.

'Tis wondrous strange, and yet 'tis true That some folks take delight The deeds of other men to view, As if their own were right.

And if a piece of news comes out, They'll eagerly pursue it; Then hand the charming dish about, And add a little to it.

Each fault they'll try to magnify, Yet seeming to bemoan The mote within a brother's eye, Are blinded to their own.
