[An old disciple of thy Lord]

The disciples...brought with them one Mnason, &c. —xxi. 16.

An old disciple of thy Lord
Mnason receive thy sacred guest,
(Thy hospitable love's reward,)
As with an host of angels bless'd:
Thou canst no more on earth require;
For if possess'd of Paul thou art
Thou hast the Gentile church entire,
Carried in their apostle's heart.
