Yet none may gaze upon its guarded store.

“How seldom, friend, a great, good man inherits
Honor, or wealth, with all his worth and pains.”
“For shame, dear friend, renounce this canting strain
What wouldst thou that the great, good man obtain?
Place, title, salary,—a gilded chain?
Or throne on corpses which his sword has slain?
Goodness and greatness are not means, but ends.
