Thou canst not buy true goodness in the market:
Nor canst thou win it unto thee by distant pilgrimage:
It dwelleth not in rich men’s storehouses,
Nor yet with hermits in the forest depths:
No gold can purchase it:
It is not to be found in darksome mines below,
Nor in the wide blue sky above:
One price alone can bring it unto thee,
The giving of thy life:
If for the sake of this great prize
Thou wilt not give thyself, with all thou hast and art,
Then cease to prate of goodness.
