burn more brightly year by year; A starry witness still。 

     HONOUR:         all   trifling   hearts   are   fond   Of   that   divine   appeal;   And 

men; upon the slightest bond; Set it as slighter seal。 

     That word should meet a noble foe Upon a noble field; And echolike 

a deadly blow Turned by a silver shield。 

     Trust me; the worth of words is such They guard all noble things; And 

that this rash irreverent touch Has jarred some golden strings。 

     For   what   the   lips   have   lightly   said   The   heart   will   lightly   hold; And 

things on which we daily tread Are lightly bought and sold。 

     The sun of every day will bleach The costliest purple hue。 And so our 

common daily speech Discolours what was true。 

     But as you keep some thoughts apart In sacred honoured care; If in the 

silence of your heart; Their utterance too be rare; 

     Then;     while   a   thousand     words    repeat   Unmeaning       clamours     all; 

Melodious golden echoes sweet Shall answer when you call。 



                                                                                       133
