And
when with grief you see your brother stray
Or
in a night of error lose his way,
Direct
his wandering and restore the day.
To
guide his steps afford your kindest aid
And
gently pity whom you can’t persuade;
Leave
to avenging heaven his stubborn will,
For,
O remember, he’s your brother still. (Dean Swift)
CONGRATULATIONS!
