GENTEEL in personage, Conduct, and equipage, Noble by heritage, Generous and free: Brave, not romantic; Learned, not pedantic; Frolic, not frantic; This must he be. Honor maintaining, Meanness disdaining, Still entertaining, Engaging and new. Neat, but not finical; Sage, but not cynical; Never tyrannical, But ever true. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE QUESTION by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON WAITING - BOTH by THOMAS HARDY WEDDED (PROVENCAL AIR) by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH OLD LADY NECESSITY by BERTON BRALEY CLEVEDON VERSES: 2.
