Give your word and give it true;
Sincerity and reliability take it through.
Statements from one's mouth can never be raced back
For respect is lost in a snap.

Take pride in what one says,
Bring dignity through what one does.
Make promises and make them reality,
For pledges are heavy weighing on a man's burden.

Ring a bell and listen to the clear jingle;
Hear the running of the pure, lucid stream.
One's name must be kept
As clean as those.
