To Live Free From Harm's Way

If you want to live free from harm's way
And in good fortune and honor,
Your tongue, if it utters something indecent, stop it and say,
"Oh tongue other people have tongues."
If your eyes see something immoral, close them and say,
"Oh eyes other people have eyes."
Practice beneficence and be magnanimous to ones who attack
And depart with that which is better.
