26 Aug Custodes Virtutis

Righteous walks to the summersun set,
Footprints cut in what virtues whet:
Choose, chase, consider or command
Holy patterns traced on mountain sand
And multiple men have multiple weights
Measured against at the play of fates;
Heavier steps merit a heavier tool
Woe to the dust given dust to rule!
And these judges none shall acquit,
And to these kings none shall submit;
Wisdoms corrode on the walk of right:
Into God flows all heavens and all light
