1. Do not let weariness with a questioner weigh you down
For the best of your times is when you see one hopeful

2. Do not frown in refusal at a hopeful face
For the continuance of your honor is to seem accepting

3. And know that you will soon be gone
So be one whose passing is beautifully borne

4. The generous man is met and is guided by his cheer
While frowning on the wretched is proof
