<blockquote><p>‘The slothful man saith, There is a lion in
the way; a lion is in the street.’—<span class="smcap">Proverbs</span> xxvi. 13.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="poetry">There are no lions in the street;<br/>
No lions in the way.<br/>
Go seek the goal, thou slothful soul,<br/>
Awake, awake, I say.</p>
<p class="poetry">Thou dost but dream of obstacles;<br/>
In God’s great lexicon,<br/>
That word illstarred, no page has marred;<br/>
Press on, I say, press on.</p>
<p class="poetry">Nothing can keep thee from thine own<br/>
But thine own slothful mind.<br/>
To one who knocks, each door unlocks;<br/>
And he who seeks, shall find.</p>
