[Here we've wander'd some few hours]
[The metal sleeps in its hidden vein]
[We count men subject to mortality]
[If I must die when all is said and done]
[If we saw these things clear, what then?]
[A skeleton typifies Death.]
[What! am I too grown old? How days have hasted!]
[A mystic tracery of Stars]
[All things freely flow]
[O young Man! cast off cowardice]
[I hear the hum of earth, alive and merry]

[How argue from effects? Whate'er you do]
How
argue from effects? Whate'er you do,
Least part of its effect comes into view.
Who simply acts from conscience pure and true,
Finds nothing in the consequence to rue.
