LIVE IN LOVE.

Be not harsh and unforgiving, Live in love, 'tis pleasant living. If an angry man should meet thee, And assail thee indiscreetly, Turn not thou again and rend him, Lest thou needlessly offend him ; Show him love hath been thy teacher— Kindness is a potent preacher ; Gentleness is e'er forgiving— Live in love, 'tis pleasant living.
Why be angry with each other ? Man is made to love his brother ; Kindness is a human duty, Meekness a celestial beauty. Words of kindness, spoke in season, Have a weight with men of reason ; Don't be others' follies blaming, And their little vices naming, Charity's a cure for railing, Suffers much, is all-prevailing. Courage, then, and be forgiving ; Live in love 'tis pleasant living.
