Em resposta a Alexandre Melo.

É inglês arcaico, Alexandre. Lá vai:
"Would'st shape a noble life? Then cast
No backwards glances towards the part.
And tough somewhat be lost and gone,
Yet do thou act as one newborn.
What each day needs, that shalt thou ask.
Each day will set its proper task.
Give others' work just share of praise,
Not of thine own the merits raise.
Beware no fellow man thou hate,
And so in God's hand leave thy fate."
