VOL. II.

WE gather up, with pious care,

What happy saints have left behind;

Their writings in our memory bear,

Their sayings on our faithful mind:

Their works, which traced them to the skies,
For patterns to ourselves we take ;

And dearly love, and highly prize,
The mantle for the wearer's sake.
