AWAY
FROM FOOLS...I'LL TURN MY EYES
Against Evil Company - Poem by Isaac Watts
Why
should I join with those in Play,
Who curse and swear, but never pray,
Who call ill Names, and fight.
I
hate to hear a wanton Song,
I should not dare defile my Tongue
With Language such as theirs.
Away
from Fools I'll turn my Eyes,
I would be walking with the Wise,
That wiser I may grow.
From one rude Boy that's us'd to mock
Ten learn the wicked Jest;
One sickly Sheep infects the Flock,
And poisons
all the rest.
