The following excerpt from George Herbert’s The Temple – The Church-Porch, Perirrhanterium (the 15th stanza):
Art thou a magistrate? then be severe:
If studious; copy fair, what time hath blurred;
Redeem truth from his jaws: if soldier,
Chase brave employments with a naked sword
Throughout the world. Fool not: for all may have,
If they dare try, a glorious life, or grave.
