,r., be,ter 10 endure the wrong


Which evil hands and tong ues commit.
n. bold encroachments OF the strong.


Tha shafts Of calumny and wit;
TIE scornfuI bearings ofthe proud,
Tbs - sncers and laughter Of the crowd.
And harder still il 10 70 bear
rhs censure of the good and wise.
W., ignorant of what you are


~ m blinded by the slanderer's lies,
LII coldIy on, or pass you by
10 sience, with aversec eye.
p,, when the friends in whom your trust


wa, s,eadflst as the mountain rock,
r. and are scattered like the dust,


Rsf1re misortune's whirldwind shock;
No, love remains to cheer your fall,
This i more terrible than all.
P1t even Ibis and these-ay more.


Gan be endured. and hope survive;
The noble spirit still may soar.


Although the body fails TO thrive;
Disease and want may wear the frame
Thank God the soul is still the same.
Hold up your head, then, man of grief,


Nor longer 10 the tempest bend
Or soon or late must come relief;


The coolest, darkest night, will end /;
Hope in the true heart never dies;
Trust on-the day star yet shall rise.
Conscious OF purity and worth.


You may with calm assurance wait
Tie ,ardy recompense of earth;


Aud, cen should justice come too late
To soolh the spirits homeward flight,
Still Heaven, at last, the wrong shal. right.
