Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all.Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close;And let us all to meditation.

Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all.

When I close my eyes to draw I always think Chicago in 1975.

Forbear to sleep the nights, and fast the days; Compare dead happiness with living woe; Think that thy babes were fairer than they were, And he that slew them fouler than he is: Bettering thy loss makes the bad causer worse: Revolving this will teach

Let him look to his bond.

It adds a precious seeing to the eye;/ A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind;/ A lover's ear will hear the lowest sound.
