Of every earthly gem:

Widow[194] and orphan helpless left—

Go thou, and shelter them.

5. Whene’er thou meet’st a human form

Less favored[195] than thine own,

Remember ’tis thy neighbor worm,

Thy brother or thy son.

6. Oh! pass not, pass not heedless by;

Perhaps, thou canst redeem

The breaking heart from misery—
