Note Back to Main Text — Chapter IV
Reading edition
"Scorning the yoke of prejudice and pride, Thy tender mind let truth and reason guide; Let meek humility thy steps attend, And firm integrity, youth's surest friend. So peace and honor all thy hours shall bless, And conscious rectitude each joy increase; A nobler meed be thine than empty praise— Heaven shall approve thy life, and Keith thy lays."[59]
