 themselves to science, if any of them were students, in any sense, 

 of science, students of nature, students of language, students of 

 history, students of theology — if to any of them truth seemed

" Let us, then, be up and doing, 

 With a heart for any fate ; 

 Still achieving, still pursuing, 

 Learn to labour and to wait." — Longfellow.
