“WHAT IS THE GREATEST BLESSING UPON EARTH?”
Peace, health, and strength, with Plenty's mean content,[illeg.] heart well manag'd, and a life well spent;
[illeg.] soul devoted, and alive to God,
{F}ond of His smile, but patient of His rod;
Each day prepar'd to breathe its latest breath,
And most resign'd, as most alive in death.
