With my red veins full of money,
In the final direction of the elementary town
I advance for as long as forever is.”

Have stood and sweated hot and cold,
And through their veins in ice and fire
Fear contended with desire.”

The young enthusiast quilts his ease for fame;
Through all his veins the fever of renown
Burns from the strong contagion of the gown;”
