What poem ends in Then be a man my son?

The poem that ends with "Then be a man, my son" is "If" by Rudyard Kipling.

Here is the final stanza:

> If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

> If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

> If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

> And treat those two impostors just the same;

> If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

> Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

> Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

> And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

> If you can make one heap of all your winnings

> And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

> And lose, and start again at your beginnings

> And never breathe a word about your loss;

> If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

> To serve your turn long after they are gone,

> And so hold on when there is nothing in you

> Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

> **If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

> Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

> If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

> If all men count with you, but none too much;

> If you can fill the unforgiving minute

> With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

> Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

> And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!**
