[An apostolic prelate hopes]
Whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be, &c.
—x. 44.
An apostolic prelate hopes
For no preferment here,
To every cross and burden stoops,
The church's minister;
He strives with unremitted pain
In Jesus' steps to move,
He labours all the heights to' attain,
And depths of humble love.
