He who meet beauty and does not look at it will
soon be poor:
Red feathers are the pride of the parrot,
Young leaves are the pride of the palm-tree,
White flower are pride of the leaves,
A well-swept verandah is the pride of the
householder,
A straight tree is the pride of the forest,
The fast deer is the pride of the bush,
The rainbow is the pride of heaven,
The beautiful woman is the pride of her husband,
Children are the pride of their mother,
The moon and star is the pride of the sun,
Beauty and good luck on their way!
