The tall oak, towering to the skies, 
The fury of the winds defies; 
From age to age, in virtue strong, 
Inured to stand and suffer wrong.

Mine honour is my life; both grow in one; 
Take honour from me, and my life is done.

Not with such forged shows as fitter been _ 
For courting fools, that courtesies would faine. 
But with entire affection and appearance plain.

Independence. 
I’ll go along, no such sight to be shown, 
But to rejoice in splendour of mine own. 
(Shakespeare. 
O fear not in a world like this, 
And thou shalt know ere long-— 
Know how sublime a thing it is 
To suffer and be strong.
