To humankind, O Brother, consecrate Thy heart, and shun the hundred Sects that prate
 * About the things they little know about—

Let all receive thy pity, none thy hate.

The tavern and the temple also shun, For sheikh and libertine in sooth are one;
 * And when the pious knave begins to pule,

The knave in purple breaks his vow anon.
