V.

There are no "ups" in life, there are no "downs,"

For "high" and "low" are words of like degree;

He who is light of heart when Fortune frowns,

He is a king though nameless in the towns.

VI.

None is so lofty as the sage who prays,

None so unhigh as he who will not kneel.

The breeze is servant to the summer days,

And he is bowed-to most who most obeys.
