Page 17 - What we can we will be, Honest Englishmen. Do the work that's nearest, Though it's dull at whiles; Helping, when we meet them, Lame dogs over stiles ; See in every hedgerow Marks of angels...
Page 150 - Greatness and goodness are not means but ends ! Hath he not always treasures, always friends, The good great man ?
