BE COURAGEOUS.

Fear not my dear brother,
Though fortune may fly thee,
And fate hold the down
Meath the chastening rod,
Perhaps you are richer
Than many another,
The poorer,the pocket,
The nearer to God.
And have you not manhood,
Inheritance glorious,
For God in His image
Created He man;
Be proud of that title,
For there is none greater,
Nor ever has been
Since the world began.
Then cherish that body
As fitting a temple,
To grace those fair regions,
That city above,
Where, singing for ever,
The seraphic legions,
Proclaim to the universe
Infinite love.
