PORTRAITS OF JOHN BUNYAN, ARCHBISHOP FENELON, BISHOP KEN.
Pilgrim, like thee, along the world I roam,With the celestial city for my home;
Priest, I would seek to imitate and feel
Thy unaffected piety and zeal;
Pastor, thy care and guidance I would choose,
And with thy motives court the willing muse,
Catch from thy strains a sympathetic fire,
And strike, as thou hast done, a hallow'd lyre.
