Mr. Webster refers to his indecision as to a career.

“Now Hope leans forward on Life’s slender line,

Shows me a lawyer, doctor or divine;

Ardent springs forward to the distant goal,

But indecision clogs the eager soul.

Heaven bless my friend, and when he marks his way,

And takes his bearings o’er life’s troubled sea,

In that important moment may he find

Choice and his friends and duty all combined
