The well-known Governor Morris, who was
gentleman by birth, education and conYersio d,
and OF the most dignifed and courteous bearing,
on being asked his definition of gentleman re-
piled in the words of a paraphrase Of ,one Of
DRyids psalms:
It's he whose every thought and deed,
BY rule Of virtue moves;
Whose generous tongue disdane to speak
Fhe thing his heart dsproVes;
Who never did SANDER forge
His nsighbors' fame to wound,
Nor bearken to false report
BY malace whispered round;
Who vice in al its PomP and power
Can treat With just neglect
And. pety, though clothed In rags,
Religiously respect;
Who to his plighted words andtrust
Has firmly stood
And though be promise to his loss,
BE makes his promise good
Whose soul 10 usury disdains
His treasure to employ
Whom no rewards can ever bride
The gutless to destroy
This psalm was also neatly copied by Thomas
was accustomed to treasure up the choicest gems
Of thought and rules Of life.
