“Verily, eke the righteous man
approach shall he that noble tower,—
who taketh not his life in vain,
his neighbour cheateth not with guile
Of such saw Solomon clearly once
how well our Wisdom welcomed him;
He guided him by ways full straight,
shew'd him awhile the realm of God,
as who should say, ‘Lo, yon fair place!
thou may'st it win, if thou be brave.’
But, without peril, be thou sure,
the innocent is saved by right.
