Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On Virtue

Description of the Virtuous

Homage to him who keeps his heart a book

For stainless matters, prone great talk to prize

And nearness of the good; whose faithful look

Rejoices in his own dear wife, whose eyes

Are humble to the Master good and wise;

A passion high for learning, noble fear

Of public shame who feels; treasures the still

Sweet love of God; to self no minister,

But schools that ravener to his lordlier will,

Far from the evil herd on virtue's hill.
