Analysis of Faithfulness, Humility, Moderation
Faithfulness is the rock of trust
Assurance to confide
Anticipation without fear
A fortress to reside
Humility, no haughty pride
Source of modest restraint
The anchorage of all conceit
Terminus of complaint
Moderation is the balanced will
Sanctuary of changeless rest
Abstinence in the heat of wrath
Endowed in mortals blest
