Stately, kindly, lordly friend Condescend Here to sit by me.
Water is best, but gold shines like fire blazing in the night, supreme of lordly wealth.
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.
I built my soul a lordly pleasure-house, Wherein at ease for aye to dwell.
God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.
