1. Forgive a brother's faults, and overlook
His flaws, when they appear. Be gentle to

2. The one whom you reprove. Though he withhold
Some of your rights, let them not trouble you.

3. Do not despise the treasures of this life;
The scorned may be the seeker's prize one day.

4. You seek, but the noble one eludes your strife;
What mind stays sound when impulses decay?
