Careful With Pride
Lest not you be proud of yourself
for any reason you decide
it worth to
think,
Pride of itself, will devour your
goodness like a white cloth
doth absorb black
ink.
Keep your wit timid when finding
a deed well done, let it
remain in the distant
past,
Others can be proud of you, but
keep your distance from
yourself, let your soul
fast.
