FOR MR. CHARLES GREENWOOD.

The blessed, tempted man, who always fear'd,
Hath laid triumphantly his burden down;
Intrepid when the stingless foe appear'd,
He bow'd his head, and gain'd the victor's crown:

434

Exalted to a higher place above,
Who humbly chose on earth the lowest place,
His endless fears are lost in endless love,
His ceaseless prayers in never-ending praise.
