DUTY.
So nigh is grandeur to our dust,
So near is God to man,
When Duty whispers low, Thou must,
The youth replies, I can.
Voluntaries. R.W. EMERSON.
Not once or twice in our rough island story,
The path of duty was the way to glory.
Ode: Death of the Duke of Wellington. A. TENNYSON.
When I'm not thanked at all, I'm thanked enough:
I've done my duty, and I've done no more.
Tom Thumb. H. FIELDING.
And I read the moral—A brave endeavor
To do thy duty, whate'er its worth,
Is better than life with love forever,
And love is the sweetest thing on earth.
Sir Hugo's Choice. J.J. ROCHE.
