Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 24: Designed Expressly for the Education and Elevation of the Young; October 15, 1889 Tis not the gently graceful gait, Well made clothes, well put on, The softly-measured tone, Still talking of the rich and great, That makes the gentleman. But 'tis the heart in danger true, The honor free from stain, The soul which scorns the vain, Holding the world but at its due, That makes the gentleman. He who is doubtful of himself, His station or his heart, Will tend his outward part, Will talk of rank and worship pelf, He is no gentleman, But he who heaven's true patent bears Within his noble breast Whose deeds his claim attest, Free from such idle cares or fears, He is the gentleman.
