To say so, act up to our truth perceived

However feebly. Do then,—act away!

'Tis there I'm on the watch for you. How one acts

Is, both of us agree, our chief concern:

And how you'll act is what I fain would see

If, like the candid person you appear,

You dare to make the most of your life's scheme

As I of mine, live up to its full law

Since there's no higher law that counterchecks.
