Demeanour of the gentlemen
Is tasteless as pure water,
While that of the petty men
Is sweet as infused liqueur.
But the tastelessness
Of the gentlemen's association
Leads on to affection;
And the sweetness
Of the petty men to aversion.
Demeanour of the petty men,
However, has a certain room
To be eventually improved,
While that of the gentlemen
Is to be let well alone. . .
Peace to you... rlc
Love ya!
