From the same.

[I languish, and have now another Call]

I languish, and have now another Call
To think of Heav'n, and quit this Earthly Ball;
The Benefit I own; but, Lord, in Love,
Assuage the Sickness, and the Pain remove;
Or if That is not fit, then give me Grace,
To bear it firmly, and with chearful Face.
