Hom. Il. V 403 + 

If thou art tempted by a thought of ill, + 

Crave not too soon for victory, nor deem + 

Thou art a coward if thy safety seem + 

To spring too little from a righteous will; + 

For there is nightmare on thee, nor until + 

Thy soul hath caught the morning’s early gleam + 

Seek thou to analyze the monstrous dream + 

By painful introversion; rather fill + 

Thine eye with forms thou knowest to be truth; + 

But see thou cherish higher hope than this⁠— + 

hope hereafter that thou shall be fit + 

Calm-eyed to face distortion, and to sit + 

Transparent among other forms of youth + 

Who own no impulse save to God and bliss. + 
