Should virtue attend your path?

Have self-control to gain the bliss, that immortals share
With indulgence, it leads to darkness and leaves us there
Like wealth, guard the power of self-control
That gives the greatest gain to living soul
If your wisdom`s lore is the cause of self-restrain
The self-repression when known will yield glory`s gain
Being in one`s position, determined and can self subdue
Your pride rises higher than the mountain`s view
Remaining humble to obtain others grace, but chief to one
Is the fortune blessing and the fortune`s crown
As the tortoise, if one has the five restrains
Bliss from the seven worlds, is what the person obtains
Greater self-control on lips, should the person keep
For fault of tongue, bitter tears should weep
For a lie, even the gain be small that it brings
This evil word, is parent still of evil things
Flesh inflamed by fire, has nature to heal the sore
But the soul inflamed by tongue, heals nevermore
One who learns to restrain and guards his soul from wrath
Has virtue, as a timely aid to attend his path.
