LAYING UP TREASURE.
From the Mahàbhárata.
Before the Ender comes, whose charioteerIs swift or slow Disease, lay up each year
Thy harvests of well-doing, wealth that kings
Nor thieves can take away. When all the things
Thou callest thine, goods, pleasures, honors fall,
Thou in thy virtue shalt survive them all.
1881.
