"That mind's the standard of the Man."
If the mind was easy to be read,
And another for to see,
There would prisoner after prisoner
Immediately be set free.
If conscience was as easy known
As another's words to hear,
There would not be half so many men
That society would fear.
But what do people think or care
What's in another's brain,
So long as they can all conceal
The evil in their frame.
There are a few who secretly
Do not conceal their sham,
But there's one thing safe to wager on,
"That mind's the standard of the Man."
