As, in truth, ye would that others

Unto you should succor lend,

So, to them, as equal brothers,

Equal love and help extend.[E]

Thou shalt not the slave deliver

To his master, when he flees:—

Heritage, from God, the Giver,

Yield them freely, where they please.[F]

As thyself,[G]—thy babes,—their mother,—

Thou wouldst shield from murd’rous arm,
