And o'er that course Fate ever reigns.

Fate ne'er exceeds the rule of Fate:

Is ne'er too swift, is ne'er too late,

And making nature its ally

Forgets no life, nor passes by.

No kith and kin, no power and force

Can check or stay its settled course,

No friend or client, grace or charm,

That victor of the world disarm.

So all who see with prudent eyes
