Confidence
The narrow straits are dire,
they are strewn with traps and dangers,
there are reefs and shallows everywhere,
but improvising through the crooked path
with care and calm and cool determination
will eventually bring all things through
without as much as the minutest scratch,
if only you avoid temptations and bad temper;
if you lose it, everything is lost.
Thus will you save your love through any danger,
and each trial will be only for the best
edification and good lesson of survival.
