Fortitude
1.As land tolerates diggers
great does ridiculous.
2.Pardoning infinite harms good
forgetting betters it
3.Poorest poor deny guests
great bears idiots.
4.To be determined preserve
Patience for ever
5.Impatients, disregarded but tolerants
prized as gold.
6.Intolerants enjoy a day
others for ever.
7.Though others did unbearable
better evade unrighteousness.
8.Succeed those impolite prides
by condoning nobility.
9.Bearing acrimomious words, pure
of the renounced.
10.Fasting ritualist, second best
bearing worthless words
