A RIGHT SEASONABLE DITTIE
penned admiringly by his affectionate poor friend, S. I., in honorem S.D.H. et in memoriam S. Mariae Aldermanburiensis, 21 April 1923
Who hath the wit to catch God's will,
And swear—“By God, I'll do it!
“Though men shall crown, or men shall frown,
“I'll steadily pursue it”:
And swear—“By God, I'll do it!
“Though men shall crown, or men shall frown,
“I'll steadily pursue it”:
Well, it may tarry many a year,
While fools do rule the roast-a,
Yet comes a day God's Self doth say,
“Behold the Friend I toast-a”!
While fools do rule the roast-a,
Yet comes a day God's Self doth say,
“Behold the Friend I toast-a”!
1923.
