Protecting Ones Good Name
Protecting one's good name
Not a kid's easy card game.
Who does climbs towards fame,
Who squeezes it buys shame;
The picture not the same....
Better one an old dame,
Clinging to her good name
Than princess of just blame
In morals badly lame
One's good name is one's flame;
Really, the thing men claim.
Thus, you must n't it maim;
Remain - not wild - the tame!
