XVIII.—LET VIRTUE BE YOUR AIM.
1. Whatever be thy lot on earth,
Thy mission[136] here below,
Though Fame may wreathe[137] her laurels[138] fair,
Around your youthful brow,—
If you would rise from earthly things,
And win a deathless name,
Let all your ways be just and right—
Let virtue be your aim.[139]
