Trust payeth homage unto truth, rewarding honesty of action:
And all men love to lean on him, who never failed nor fainted.
Freedom gloweth in his eyes, and Nobleness of nature at his heart,
And Independence took a crown and fixed it on his head:
So, he stood in his integrity, just and firm of purpose,
Aiding many, fearing none, a spectacle to angels, and to men:
Yea,—when the shattered globe shall rock in the throes of dissolution,
Still, will he stand in his integrity, sublime—an honest man.
