Wish to obtain the foremost place?

To this day, the earth bears up those delving in to her breast
Such that, to bear with scornful men of virtues is the best
To forgive trespassing is good, always
But to forget them has higher praise
The painful poverty is bidding unfed guest to depart
The mightiest might is to bear with men of foolish heart
For yourself seek those honours and wish to retain
And more, have patience and guard it even more to maintain
Those who wreak their wrath are worthless and are dispensed
But those who forbear patiently are winners and prized
And those who are wreaking wrath, have pleasure for a day
But for those who bear, have praise till the earth passes away
For others vicious actions remain aloof and keep
Grieve for their sin, and for thou blessings will reap
With overwhelming pride, when those with injuries assail
By their own righteous dealing, shall thou mightily prevail
For transgressors words, these people who can endure
With patience are even as stern ascetics, pure
Though we deem great, those people who fast and suffer pain
Those who endure others bitter words, the foremost place they obtain
