HE SHALL NOT DREAD MISFORTUNE'S ANGRY MIEN, by                     Poet's Biography
Last Line: The lofty spirit and enduring heart!
Alternate Author Name(s): Trapassi, Pietro Antonio Domenico
Subject(s): Fate; Perseverance


He shall not dread Misfortune's angry mien,
Nor feebly sink beneath her tempest rude,
Whose soul hath learned, through many a trying scene,
To smile at Fate, and suffer unsubdued.
In the rough school of billows, clouds, and storms,
Nursed and matured, the pilot learns his art:
Thus Fate's dread ire, by many a conflict, forms
The lofty spirit and enduring heart!
