“I am your hope, your guide - your soul.”
Bird of the Soul
This may have inspired later lines of "A Challenge" from "Quatrains" by James Benjamin Kenyon, published in An American Anthology, 1787-1900 (1901) edited by Edmund Clarence Stedman:

Though the black camel Death kneel at thy gate;
No beggar thou that thou for alms shouldst sue:
Be the proud captain still of thine own fate.
Invictus (1875)

“True, I am young, but for souls nobly born
Valor doesn’t await the passing of years.”
Je suis jeune, il est vrai; mais aux âmes bien nées
La valeur n’attend point le nombre des années.
