Arthur Hugh Clough - The Latest Decalogue

Arthur Hugh Clough - The Latest Decalogue

Thou shalt have one God only; who br Would be at the expense of two? br No graven images may be br Worshipp'd, except the currency: br Swear not at all; for, for thy curse br Thine enemy is none the worse: br At church on Sunday to attend br Will serve to keep the world thy friend: br Honour thy parents; that is, all br From whom advancement may befall: br Thou shalt not kill; but need'st not strive br Officiously to keep alive: br Do not adultery commit; br Advantage rarely comes of it: br Thou shalt not steal; an empty feat, br When it's so lucrative to cheat: br Bear not false witness; let the lie br Have time on its own wings to fly: br Thou shalt not covet; but tradition br Approves all forms of competition.
