QUATRAINS
Ang katwiran maโ€™y nabaon
Ng sanda-sandaan taon
Pag dumating ang panahon
Lilitaw din at uusbong.
(Truth, though buried
hundred of years,
In due time, it will come out
and flourish.)
3-Line Stanza Tanaga
Ang dalagan may puri,
Wala mang salapi,
May yumi at dangal na itinatangi.
5-Line Stanza Tanaga
Ang puri ng dalagaโ€™y
Kristal ang kawangis
Dapat kaingatang magkamit ng dungis
Kapag nagkalamat ay di maibabalik
Tinisod-tisod ng balanang tikis.
(A maidenโ€™s honor is like a glass
That should be protected
For once it cracks
It cannot be made intact and
It will be just trodden by anyone)
