[In unambiguous words and few]
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? &c.
—i. 21.
In unambiguous words and few,
Which just suffice his mind to' express,
He disavows the praise undue,
The truth they urge him to confess
Simply declares, from falsehood free,
Nor wounds his own humility.

His own advantages of grace
If known yet he regards them not;
The good he truly doth possess
O'erlooks as slighted and forgot:
Yet while he seeks himself to hide
He hates the modest veil of pride.
