9. TO A YOUNG FRIEND,

Who complained of one Relation who gave late Breakfasts on account of long Prayers,—and of another who gave bad Dinners.

Our ghostly guides, to Heav'n who point the way,
Enjoin this golden precept—Fast and Pray.
How well, O pious youth, thy days are pass'd,
Who pray with Sanctus and with Parcus fast.
