Summary

"For the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. (Psalm xi. 2) their tongue a sharp sword. (Psalm lvii. 4)."
SLANDER AND BACKBITING.
Mark! where the good man unsuspecting treads
No evil meditates, nor evil dreads ;
The base assassins from their covert start,
And sheath the dagger in his bleeding heart;
Or shoot their arrows, strung by hate, alack,
With deadly aim at the defenceless back.
So smites the slanderer, with poisond tongue.
The man—his neighbour—who has done no wrong ;
Thief-like, he steals what gold cannot replace,
And, like a coward, dares not show his face:
A brutish cur, that sneaks along the track,
Awaits his time, then springs upon the back.
