| Virtus holding olive branch and spear, shield at his side |
Fearless he sees, who is with virtue crown'd,
The tempest rage, and hears the thunder sound;
Ever the same, let fortune smile or frown.
Serenely as he liv'd resigns his breath;
Meets destiny half-way, nor shrinks at death.
-- George Granville (1666-1735)
