As a beauty I’m not a great star,
There are others more handsome by far;
But my face I don’t mind it
Because I’m behind it –
‘Tis the folks out in front that I jar.

He held, in spite of all his learning,
That if a man’s belief is bad,
It will not be improved by burning.

The rain it raineth on the just
And also on the unjust fella;
But chiefly on the just, because
The unjust steals the just’s umbrella.
