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 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

In the olden days the pub is where you find sinners,but nowadays the real sinners are found in religious houses.

Life's irony;In the olden days sinners were found only in the pub,but nowadays,the real sinners are found in religious houses.

And even the ranks of Tuscany / Could scarce forbear to cheer.
