First lines
Kill if you must, but never hate:
Man is but grass and hate is blight,
The sun will scorch you soon or late, Die wholesome then, since you must fight.
Hate is a fear, and fear is rot That cankers root and fruit alike, Fight cleanly then, hate not, fear not, Strike with no madness when you strike.
