1. Noble virtues are purified morals
Religion is the first, reason comes next

2. Knowledge is the third, forbearance the fourth
Generosity is the fifth, justice the sixth

3. Righteousness is the seventh, patience the eighth
Gratitude is the ninth, gentleness remains

4. My soul knows I do not speak the truth to it
I advise only when I disobey it

5. My eyes know from their talkative pair
If they are allies or hostile rivals

6. Your eyes have guided mine about you
To things I'd not have known without their sight
