Sonnet-In Virtues, I'Ll Be Steadfast Poem by Dr John Celes

More humanely than they deserve, I treat;
Their weaknesses, I tend to much ignore;
In ways I can, I improve their poor feat;
Ungrateful yet, behave they, all the more.

Their minds I prop, whenever in despair;
I comfort them when sorrow hits their heart;
I protect them and do all things thats fair;
The things they do are clumsy on their part.

Oh, why colleagues behave like this, confounds?
Should I keep them like slaves, under my thumb?
Their attitudes, unfair, my heart much pounds;
Should I turn cruel and keep my skin numb?

The more humane you be, less is respect;
God's punishments come surely, I expect.
