So work along in your chosen niche
   With a steady purpose to nerve you;
Let nothing men say who pass your way
   Relax your courage, or swerve you.
The idle will flock by the Temple of Art
   For just the pleasure of gazing.
But climb to the top and do not stop,
   Though they may not all be praising.
                                                              Never Mind.
