““One thought in agony of strife
The bravest would have by for friend,
The memory that he chose the life ...””

““You are old, Father William,” the young man cried,
“And life must be hastening away;
You are cheerful, and love to converse upon death:
Now tell me the reason, I pray.”

“Let the cause thy attention engage;
In the days of my youth I remembered my God,
And He hath not forgotten my age.””
