The Character

To run after material fame Counted not rich sensitive game; Among wealth, sex and love affair, Character is above all arbiter. As adorn ornament each bridal's limb, An artist make alive clumsy-wart-stone; Company bear trophy by aggressive troops Oblige character graceful at distress grown; The character die seldom minus bloom, Yet en-lights personality fade in gloom; Usually left little paid proper care, Although always seen inclined sincere; Certain place customary said temple Where almighty's statue noted install Estimated body deserving only when; Thermal of character ne'er fall; Effort need to build the character Honesty and endurance are weapon mere; By effacement total thought rankle And block pulse hide egotism perennial; Good name lost can regain later But character pleases rare if blot; A richest jewel survive human tread; Turn soul ill, fret, spiritless on rot.
