Then Cherish Pity, Lest You Drive An

Oh! Why Was I Born With A Different Face? Why Was I Not Born Like The Rest Of My Race? When I Look,each One Starts! When I Speak, I Offend; Then Im Silent & Passive & Lose Every Friend.

Im Either Too Low Or Too Highly Prized; When Elate I M Envy'd, When Meek Im Despis'd
