Sing of thy spirit, thy mind,

Remembering then,

The kernel and not the rind,

The heat not the fires.

We shall not judge thee by thy tallest spires,

But by the stature of thy men;

Not thy great wealth of bales and casks and gold,

Nor mounting scales of what thou’st bought or sold

Shall here suffice,

But riches thine in virtues beyond price:
