B wise as a Solon, B meek as a child;
B studious, B thoughtful, B loving, B kind,
B sure you make matter B subject to mind;
B cautious, B prudent, B trustful and true,
B courteous to all men, B friendly with few;
B temperate in all things, B sure to shun

B careful of conduct, of money, of time;
B cheerful, B grateful, B hopeful, always
B ready for prayer, and B joyful in praise;
B courageous, B gentle, B literal, B just,
B aspiring, yet humble, for thou art but dust;
B penitent, circumspect, sound in the faith,
B active, devoted, B faithful till death;
B honest, B holy transparent and pure,
B dependent on Christ, and of heaven B sure.
