With what I scorn upbraid me not,
Let Candour weigh my Cause;
Let loose no Thought her Fame to blot,
Whom purest Honour awes.
Let Candour weigh my Cause;
Let loose no Thought her Fame to blot,
Whom purest Honour awes.
Thy Handmaid from her early Youth,
No Tempter cou'd intice,
As nurtured in the Love of Truth,
And high Disdain of Vice.
Eli.
No Tempter cou'd intice,
As nurtured in the Love of Truth,
And high Disdain of Vice.
Go then in Peace, and if thou hast a Vow
The Lord accept thee, forward all thy Views,
And grant Thee thy Petition—I foresee
Thy sure Success in all thy Heart's Desire.
