Arthur Hugh Clough - The Latest DecalogueArthur Hugh Clough - The Latest Decalogue
Work rating: Low


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