A Great Man.

1Fron, Owen merelith's "New Poems."l
That man great, and he alone,
Who serves a or, atness not his own,
Fur mel her p ais nor pelf;
Covtent to know and be unknown:
Whole in himself.
Strong is that man, be only strong,
TO whose weil-orC ere VIII belong,
FOR service and delight,
All lowers that in the t9ce of Wrong,
Establish Right
And free he is, and only he,
Who ON his tyrant passions iree'
By Fortune undismayed,
Hath pow upon himself, TO DC
BY himself obtyed'
Ifsueh 4 man there be, whereer
Beneath he sun and moon be fare.
He cannot fare amlss.
Great n nature Ia h him in her care;
Her cause is his:
Who holds by everlasting law,
Which neither chance nor change can flaw:
Whose ste4dtast course is enc
Wi Ii whatsoever forces draw
The ages on:
II such a man here lie, where,er
Beneath The sun and moon lie lare,
He doth not fare alone
He Q eth GRIT with cohorts, lowers,
TIL monarch of his mantul hours,
Whose minds his throne.
He owes no homage to the sun;
There's noihng he need seek or shun,
All things az his by right;
He is his otoa posterty;
His future in himself doth lie;
His SOULS his light,
Lord of lofty lie is he,
Lotly living, though he be
OF lowry birth; though poor,
He lacks not wea 18th; nor high degree
In state obscure.
The merely great are, all in all,
No more than what the merely small
Esteem them. Mans opinion
Neither conferred, nor can recall,
This mans Dominion.
