Show THE MAN. Is a man a whit tho better For his riches and his gains? For Ins acres and his pslaro Id a man a whit bolter? And if a man's no wbit tho better For hifl cotters and his mines, For hn purple and tine linun, For his vineyards and his wines, Why do thousands bend the kneo, And cringe in mean servility, If a man's no whit the bailor? Is a man a whit tho worse For lowly dress of rajr? Though he owns no lordly rental, If bis heart is kind and (ntl, Is a man a whit too worse? And if a man's no whit tho worse For a poor and lowly stand, For an empty, even pocket, And a brawny, working hand, Why do thousands pass him by, "With a proud and scornful oya. If a man's no whit the worse? |
