Zealous Zero
Business: best attend with care.
Promptness: why elude?
Positive? Consider flair.
Right and wrong, I brood.
Patience! Thus with trials endured:
Battles bravely fought:
Company vicious, mired and moored!
Flee, O evil thought!
Integrity, sacrosanct.
Injure not the next.
Virtuously houses haunt!
Honesty, my text!
Acquaintances, be thou few.
Be just what you are.
Manners, friendship! O church pew!
Veracity, star!
Parents, counsel respected!
Money, sacrificed!
Intoxicants, protected!
Improvement, well priced!
Wrong: un-ventured threshold!
Passions, with care full watched!
Salutation kindly, gold!
Discouragement: botched!
Zealous labor, for the right!
Otherwise bad night!
Revolution in full flight?
Sound within me, fight...
