He wales a portion with judicious care;
And "Let us worship God," he says with solemn air.
By labour and intent study (which I take to be my portion in this life), joined with the strong propensity of nature, I might perhaps leave something so written to after times as they should not willingly let it die.
I live not in myself, but I become
Portion of that around me; and to me
High mountains are a feeling, but the hum
Of human cities torture.
What is the end of fame? 'T is but to fill
A certain portion of uncertain paper.
That best portion of a good man's life,—
His little, nameless, unremembered acts
Of kindness and of love.
