Be strong! Be brave! Be absolutely true!
As you would wish your wife, be pure!
Deserve your own best honor, and be sure
That all whom you love best will honor you!

So fair the page, so beautiful the lilies
We dread to see black ink such whiteness strewing:
And yet, though pure the soul, though good the will is,
There is no life for us except in doing!
