Call no faith false which e'er has brought
Relief to any laden life,
Cessation to the pain of thought,
Refreshment 'mid the dust of strife.

How far high failure overleaps the bound
Of low successes.

While Duty is a path which all may tread.

The Epic of Hades (1877)

Toil is the law of life and its best fruit.

What power was this—chance, will you say? But chance, what else can it mean
Than the hidden Cause of things by human reason unseen?

Knowledge is the hill which few may hope to climb;
Duty is the path that all may tread.
