To the Editor:
Your sports headline, “The rain falls ‘On the just and on the unjust'” refers to Matthew 5:45 (”He . . . sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust”), but I wonder how many readers have heard this verse, attributed to Charles, Baron Bowen (1835-94):
The rain it raineth on the justAnd also on the unjust fella,But chiefly on the just, becauseThe unjust steals the just’s umbrella.
