The Hypocritic Oath

Why must only doctors first do no harm?
Imagine a world where lawyers were so bound:
I suppose they would be rarely found,
But would it be so bad for poets' or preachers' business,
and, if so, what sort of world is this?
It's an oath I'd make, but wouldn't keep
For most harm done is unforeseen.
