And Reputation Bleeds In Ev'ry Word.

He Hurts Me Most Who Lavishly Commends.

Who To Patch Up His Fame, Or Fill His Purse, Still Pilfers Wretched Plans, And Makes Them Worse; Like Gypsies, Lest The Stolen Brat Be Known, Defacing First, Then Claiming For His Own.

The Rigid Saint, By Whom No Mercy's Shown To Saints Whose Lives Are Better Than His Own.

And Reputation Bleeds In Ev'ry Word.

Genius Is Independent Of Situation.
