True as the needle to the pole,
Or as the dial to the sun.
_Song_. B. BOOTH.
But faithfulness can feed on suffering,
And knows no disappointment.
_Spanish Gypsy, Bk. III_. GEORGE ELIOT.
To God, thy countrie, and thy friend be true.
_Rules and Lessons_. H. VAUGHAN.
Statesman, yet friend to truth! of soul sincere,
In action faithful, and in honor clear;
Who broke no promise, served no private end,
Who gained no title, and who lost no friend.
_Epistle to Mr. Addison_. A. POPE.
