Give all to love, ;
Obey thy heart;
Friends, kindred, days,

Estate, good-fame,

Plans, credit, and the Muse,

Nothing refuse.

"'Tis a brave master;

Let it have scope:

Follow it utterly,
Hope beyond hope :
High and more bigb
It dives into noon,
With wing unspent,
Untold intent:
But it is a god,
Knows its own path

And the outlets of the sky.

"It was never for the mean;
It requireth courage stout.
Souls above doubt,
Valor unbending,
It will reward,

They shall return

More than they were,

And ever ascending.
