THE PRINCESS' SONG.
In paths of Peace and Virtue Always the good remain ; And sorrow shall not stay with them,, Nor long access of Pain : At meeting or at parting, Joys to their bosoms strike, For good to good is friendly, And Virtue loves al ike. The great Sun goes his journey By their strong truth impelled ; By their pure lives and penances Is earth itself upheld ; Of all which live or shall live Upon its hills and fields, Pure hearts are the protectors,. For Virtue saves and shields. Never are noble spirits Poor while their like survive ; Without request these render, Without return they give, . Never is lost or wasted The goodness of ,the good ; Never against a mercy, Against a right, it stood ; And seeing this,, that Virtue Is always friend of all, The Virtuous and Pure hearted Men their Protectors call. Edwin Arnold.
