Plato

Plato, a man of noble birth and deeds-

Socrates conquered his life.

The words of his guide highly ever he preached.

His brain, a naked knife.

Through him his youth revealed an athlete great.

To him utterly owes

Philosophy and the budding minds of today.

Fearless, ever he glows.

The deathless day that brought his soul on earth

Appeared in secret again,

To close his diamond eyes and bind the world

With sombre ceaseless pain.
