Mercy And Justice

Of Mercy and Justice,
And like the refining pot for silver!
But your love is sweet to my soul and health to my bones,
And like the furnace for gold.
Eloquent speech does not become a fool,
Much less lying lips a prince;
For a gift is like a precious jewel to him or her who receives it,
And Mercy and Justice are much needed in our daily lives.
