The Kaou K‘ew (Part I, Book VII)

How glossy is the lambkin’s fur,
Smooth to the touch, and fair to view !
In it arrayed, that officer
Rests in his lot, to virtue true.

With leopard-cuffs, the lambkin’s fur
Seems made for wearer strong in fight.
It well becomes that officer,
Whom none will see swerve from the right.

Splendid his robe of lambkin’s fur,
With its three decorations grand !
It well beseems that officer,
The pride and glory of our land.
