In other men we faults can spy / And blame the mote that dims their eye / Each little speck and blemish find / To our own strange errors blind / Ere we remark another sin / Let our own conscience look within / / When wealth to virtuous hands is given / It blesses like the dews of Heaven / Like Heaven it hears the orphans cries / And wipes the tears from widows eyes. / ALICE GORE WIDNES 1813 //
