A PENITENT TO HIS NEIGHBOURS by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY

First Line: SMILING I ANSWER: 'IS THAT ALL?'
Last Line: THEN WHAT'S YOUR HALFPENNY?
Subject(s): CONSCIENCE; SIN;
SMILING I answer: "Is that all?"
To the worst that you can say of me;
I owe my conscience countless pounds,
Then what's your halfpenny?
