EXILE

Go forth, bright youths, nor any danger shun, Go forth to brave whatever may betide; Your country needs your knowledge hardly won, Your heads to counsel and your hearts to guide.

But let fond memory turn again to home, Come back enriched with stores of foreign lore, Return to gladden hearts that long bemoan Loved kinsmen's absence from their native shore.
