The great career of justice; to exalt

His generous aim to all diviner deeds;

To chase each partial purpose from his breast;

And through the mists of passion and of sense,

And through the tossing tide of chance and pain,

To hold his course unfaltering; while the voice

Of truth and virtue, up the steep ascent

Of nature, calls him to his high reward—

The applauding smile of Heaven?
