IV. Sa Pagbibihis
(Excerpt from
Dakilang Asal) by
Aurelio Tolentino
 Ang damit na iyong dapat na isuot
ay huag ang masagwa't huag ang dukhang
lubos ang tipon n~g ganda't inam na tibubos
na sa katamtamang sa kulay ay ayos.
 Kailan~gang sumunod sa ugaling moda,
n~guni't huag lumampas n~g di tawanan ka,
at huag kang magsuot n~g hindi mo kaya:
ang mahal ay pan~git sa dukhang talaga.
 Paka-in~gatan mo ang iyong pananamit.
n~g huag madun~gisan at n~g di mapunit;
mainam ang luma, kung buo,t malinis,
kay sa bagong wasak ó may duming bahid.
 Limutin ang cotso, at magbotitos ka,
ang paa mo't binti upang huag makita:
babaying may puri di dapat magtinda
n~g dapat itago sa alin mang mata.
 Botitos ay mura, bukod sa mainam,
at talagang dapat sa mahinhing asal;
cotso't sapatilya ay napakamahal,
sa may hiyang paa talagang di bagay.
Paka-in~gatan mo ang gawang magbihis,
ang samâ at buti'y dian masisilip;
diyan nahahayag ang tinagong bait,
diyan nababasa ang gawi at hilig.
