Into this world we come like ships,
Launched from the docks and stocks and slips,
For fortune fair or fatal.
--THOMAS HOOD.
O Neptune! You may save me if you will; you may sink me if you
will; but whatever happens I shall keep my rudder true.
--SENECA’S “Pilot.”
Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward sail unharmed;
The port, well worth the voyage, is near,
And every wave is charmed.
--R. W. EMERSON.
Thou hast embarked; thou hast made the voyage; thou art come to
shore; now land! (Text.)
--MARCUS AURELIUS.
