Arresting Fever

Arresting fever holdeth fast
Those whose moral beauty's cast
Ethics, standards, habits, choices
Whose will win the longest voices
As all that which complicated
Burns off in the help instated
By an unseen orchestration
Brought on by levels not equated
Inducing tilt over expected
Circumstances halt belated
Instrumental simple status
Arresting fever increases values.
