E-Lecture - Reward

Being a didactics poem, it teaches that any good work or deed will not go unappreciated. The driver in his name has “a brand new car” as “an appreciative symbol” given to him because he spent “faithful services” in the civil service. Despite the fact that he has a great liking for booze, “he pummeled his boozy throat in obedience to rules”. This means that he stops drinking because of his appointment.

The description of the government driver by the poet in this poem is that of a faithful; loyal, obedient and diligent worker and that is why he is rewarded a new car in his name to appreciate his indefatigable effort performed while in service. His “patience rewarded” at last.
