"That low man seeks a little thing to do,
Sees it and does it;
This high man, with a great thing to pursue,
Dies ere he knows it.
That low man goes on adding one to one,
His hundreds soon hit:
His high man, aiming at a million,
Misses an unit."

Than vulgarly in the low aim succeed
As, God be thanked! I do not."

Was festal with fruits and flowers;
Body and brain we were sound as they,
But the prizes were not ours."
