26. TO COLLEGE STUDENTS,
Who had pledged themselves to abstain from Intoxicating
Liquors.

Conscripts in Virtue's holy war,
Who, at your country's call,
Thus gird the diamond cuirass on
Within your classic hall,—
Be valiant for your native clime,
Till all that Circean train
Whose cup transforms unwary souls,
Are, with their leader, slain.
So, when the pride and pomp of earth
From life's short dream shall cleave,
And each uncurtained deed and thought
Its due reward receive,—
A nobler victory shall be yours,—
If faithful to the last,—
Than theirs, who wake the clarion cry
Of battle's fearful blast.

Yes; they whose youth hath vanquished sin,
Through a Redeemer's name,—
Shall find their record in a Book
That bides the Doomsday flame.
