1. True to character, his haughty frown wrinkled his face,
And the pride he rode crashed down bending his frame.

2. Burdensome he seems, so souls thrust him away,
Further he is, though neared, the nearer he came.

3. On seeing his foolishness, verses came to recite,
Making the hemistich carry his image inlaid:

4. "Oh weightiness of his form and lightness of mind!
Why not move that from here to over here instead?"
