1. O you who seek virtues as your guide
Halt your mounts, for you've reached their tide

2. Their flow is in us, and home resides
Mountain of glory, its sun and moon besides

3. So the world to him its rule confides
Giving him its harm and gain besides

4. His efforts made his greatest pride
Since eyes of glory on him reside

5. Of noble traits that give the eyes their guide
No need for gazes to verify besides

6. Hoping for the sweet, fearing what chides
Like a water well we hope it will provide

7. Despite the day we'll reach its downslide
He brings it back like clouds their rain does guide

8. Gifts galore, yet forget we to abide
Busying us until we forget to chide

9. Giving of his vigilance and pact besides
Fragrance of two abodes he bears inside

10. Indeed greatness birthed you at its fore
No peer like you have its walls espied

11. A gentle mother nursed you at her side
If but you'd write prose with your bona fide

12. Necklaces of glory you would reside
Enemies we see, if you onwards stride

13. Young birds espying eagles at their side
Spreading terror, heroes forgot their pride

14. Safety for us, protection from their stride
Darkened command no dawn can guide
