A language to love--when our tongues in love speak it;
A language to hate--when 'tis spoken by fools;
A language to live--when the pure in life seek it,
A language to die--when the lying tongue rules;
A blessing--when blessings lead men to enjoy it;
A curse--when for cursing 'tis used as a rod;
The language of Satan--when devils employ it;
When angels indite it--the language of God.
