Thou art no more than a buffoon. br A witless simpering poltroon. br Thy bravery but surface show br concealing cowardice below. br Thy bullying and braggart ways, br will earn thee precious little praise br From maids who value honesty. br A virtue that’s unknown to you. br Despite the richness of thy dress br thou failest always to impress. br For manners make the man not clothes. br Thou art a fool shouldst thou suppose. br That honest maids would favour thee. br They would treat thee disdainfully. br br 9-May-08 br br http: blog.myspace.compoeticpiersbr br ivor or ivor.
