“These insects, too, are possessed with five solid virtues that only nature can ensure: The First Virtue: When it is time to sing, he will sing. This is trustworthiness. The Second Virtue: On meeting an enemy, he will not hesitate to fight. This is courage. The Third Virtue: Even seriously wounded, he will not surrender. This is loyalty. The Fourth Virtue: When defeated, he will not sing. He knows shame. The Fifth Virtue: When he becomes cold, he will return to his home. He is wise, and knows the situation.”
