He that walks it, only thirsting

For the right, and learns to deaden

Love of self, before his journey closes, 205

He shall find the stubborn thistle bursting

Into glossy purples, which outredden

All voluptuous garden-roses.

Not once or twice in our fair island-story,

The path of duty was the way to glory: 210

He, that ever following her commands,

On with toil of heart and knees and hands,
