Who his manhood shows and his womanhood knows becomes the empire's river. Is he the empire's river, he will from virtue never deviate, and home he turneth to a child's estate.
Who his brightness shows and his blackness knows becomes the empire's model. Is he the empire's model, of virtue ne'er shall he be destitute, and home he turneth to the absolute.
