Transcriber's Note: Obvious typographical errors have been corrected.



Break—break it open; let the knocker rust;
Consider no shalt not, nor no man's must ;
And, being entered, promptly take the lead,
Setting aside tradition, custom, creed;
Nor watch the balance of the huckster's beam;
Declare your hardiest thought, your proudest dream;
Await no summons; laugh at all rebuff;
High hearts and you are destiny enough.
