Answer 1

Answer:

Poem

You can’t always judge a book by its cover.

People are tricked by false appearances.

Every sin in the world manages to make itself look good somehow.

How many people are cowards at heart

but wear beards like Hercules or Mars, the god of war?

Decoration’s nothing but a danger,

meant to trick and trap the viewer.

Everyone’s fooled by appearances.

So I’ll have nothing to do with that gaudy gold box—

it’s like the gold that Midas couldn’t eat.

And I’ll have nothing to do with the pale silver either,

the metal that common coins are made of.

But this humble lead one,

though looks threatening,

moves me more than I can say.

And here choose I.

Joy be the consequence!
