.HOLD YOUR TONGUE OR SPEAK THE
TRUTH.
Hold your tmgue or speak the truth,
Busy hosts of age and youth !
Honor climbs by slow degree
Up the slope of infamy ;
Character is hard to grow,
What you say may lay it low ;
Then be careful, age and youth,
Hold your tongue or speak the truth.
Speak the truth or hold your tongue ;
Many bosoms have been wrung,
Many souls have suffered long,
Many hearts have gathered wrong,
From a whisper that defames
Purest lives and noblest names ;
Gossip should be gibbet-hung—
Speak the truth or hold your tongue.
Hold your tongue or speak the truth ;
Falsehood always is uncouth ;
Scandal in this mortal race
Is the mother of disgrace ;
Slander, with her grimy hands
Touches now too many lands ;
Lies are born of minds uncouth,
Hold your tongue or speak the truth.
Speak the truth or hold your tongue,
Huts or palaces amoDg ;
Weak is reputation all,
Little causes make it fall ;
Fame to fail is easy made,
Till its grandeur is betrayed ;
Calumnies are devil flung—
Speak the truth or hold your tongue.
Hold your tongue or speak the truth ;
That is virtue’s heart, in soot'i;
Men are demons, ill of name,
When they tear each other's fame ;
They are angels fair to view
When their words are always true ;
Then, ye hoste of age and youth,
Hold your tongue or speak the truth.
