The CANON.

Behold, the Hour is at Hand.

Matthew xxvi. 45.

By Crowds attended to the Choir

Thou now dost bend thy Way;

Come on, and, with suppliant Voice,

Thy humblest Homage pay:

For, thee the Fates do loud demand,

And instant Death does crave;

A Day, which no one can retard,

Shall force thee to the Grave.
