Laying up Treasure.

From the Mahabharata.

before the Ender comes, whose charioteer
Is swift or slow Disease, lay up each year
Thy harvests of well-doing, wealth that kings
Nor thieves can take away. When all the things
Thou callest thine, goods, pleasures, honors fall,
Thou in thy virtue shalt survive them all.

1881.

Boston and New York, Houghton, Mifflin and company, 1888-89.
