Lineage<br />
Indignant sense of shame<br />
Nobility’s innate integrity<br />
Truth, modesty, proven cordiality<br />
Nobility’s traditional attributes<br />
Joviality, eloquence, charity, intelligence<br />
Nobility’s illuminating essences<br />
Dignity denies degrading deeds<br />
Even diamond studded<br />
Nobility may lose property<br />
But dignity never<br />
Those disowning ignominious shame<br />
Defend family fame<br />
Aristocratic defects visibly pronounced<br />
Like lunar blemishes<br />
Unloved by good relations?<br />
Question one’s ancestry<br />
Seedlings reflect fertile soil<br />
Speech conveys nobility<br />
From modesty comes goodness<br />
From humility, fame<br />

Honor<br />
Far better to die<br />
Than honor lose<br />
Shameful actions guaranteeing fame<br />
The self‐respecting spurn<br />
Cultivate modesty in prosperity,<br />
Dignity in adversity<br />
As hairs leave heads<br />
Lives shed status<br />
Those exalted as mountains<br />
Leveled by dishevelment<br />
Those follow their revilers<br />
Never gain benefit<br />
Why worship one’s discreditors<br />
Our death preferable<br />
Obsessive fitness delays death<br />
Yet ruins dignity<br />
Hairless yaks refuse life<br />
Wretches commit suicide<br />
Those dying before dishonor<br />
Exalted all over
