I am a collection of wise sayings and moral teachings,
A treasure trove of guidance and truth beyond our feelings.
Though I come in the form of simple, poetic words,
My meaning can be found in thoughts that are great and profound.
My speech is full of phrases and proverbs galore,
Each line delivered with nuance and insight to explore.
My wisdom is timeless, for it originated long ago,
But its lessons remain useful for us to learn and grow.
Many have called me the king of all literature,
The book that’s competed against nothing more mature.
My pages are countless, yet each has something to give,
And all who read me closely find good reasons to live.
So now that you know what I am, without delay,
Identify me by name, in what form do I convey?
