Excerpt from The Modern Job But not religious - not the proper ring Exactly to his metal - could not speak The Shibboleth like the true Gileadites, But was in fact of Ephraim, even though He seemed so good and true. But they were few, And not the best of men themselves, some thought, Who judged thus harshly. Others warmly said, Job is a good and even a perfect man, If man be ever perfect. You forget He had a Quaker mother, and from her Has fairly drawn a strain of Quaker blood, And worships more in spirit than in form, As she did - who herself was all a saint, A woman fearing God, and loving man.
