Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate,
Nothing to him falls early or too late.
Our acts, our angles are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still.

Sorrow calls no time that's gone:
Violets plucked the sweetest rain
Makes not fresh nor grow again.
