Act like a man


 Acquit thee bravely, play the man;
Look not on pleasures as they come, but go:
Defer not the last virtue; life's poor span
Makes not an ell by trifling in thy woe.

-- George Herbert

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 
 
-- I Corinthians 16:13

The man of the formula "True God and True Man" is a poor man


 
Man is God's image; but a poor man is
Christ's stamp to boot: both images regard.

-- George Herbert (1593-1633)
