172 Not any, not the President, is to have one jot more
 * than you or me,

Not any habitan of America is to have one jot less
 * than you or me.

Anticipate when the thirty or fifty millions, are to become
 * the hundred, or two hundred millions, of
 * equal freemen and freewomen, amicably joined.

Recall ages—One age is but a part—ages are but a
 * part;

Recall the angers, bickerings, delusions, superstitions,
 * of the idea of caste,

Recall the bloody cruelties and crimes.

Anticipate the best women; I say an unnumbered new race of hardy and well-defined
 * women are to spread through all These
 * States,

I say a girl fit for These States must be free, capable,
 * dauntless, just the same as a boy.

Anticipate your own life—retract with merciless
 * power,

Shirk nothing—retract in time—Do you see those
 * errors, diseases, weaknesses, lies, thefts?

Do you see that lost character?—Do you see decay,
 * consumption, rum-drinking, dropsy, fever,
 * mortal cancer or inflammation?

Do you see death, and the approach of death?

Think of the Soul; I swear to you that body of yours gives proportions to
 * your Soul somehow to live in other spheres,

I do not know how, but I know it is so.
