JUDGE NOT A
Man by His Clothing, PRICE ONE PENNY. Copies of this popular song can always be had in the
poet's box, 80 London Street. TUNE ?ORIGINAL. Judge not a man by the cost of his clothing,
Unheeding the life-path he may pursue ;
Or oft you'll admire a heart that needs loathing,
And fail to give honour where honour is due.
The palm may be hard, and the fingers stiff jointed,
The coat may be tatter'd, the cheek worn with tears,
But greater than kings are labour's anointed,
And you can't judge a man by the coat that he wears. Give me the man as a friend and a neighbour,
Who toils at the loom?with the spade or the plough,
Who wins his diploma of manhood by labour,
And purchases wealth by the sweat of his brow.
Why should the broadcloth alone be respected,
And the man be despised who in fustian appears ?
While the angels in heaven have their limbs unprotected
You can't judge a man by the coat that he wears. Tell me?should honest men quake, though a despot
May think it his province to stamp or to frown ?
For we all know that a head in a nightcap
May equal a head in a crown.
Then despise not a brother but dry up
All the hot scalding showers of his tears ;
A man is a despite clime and country,
Judge by his acts, not the coat that he wears. Songs sent to any part of the country on receipt of
