To quit cards, liquors, poaching, oaths, and lies;

His health restored, he yet resolved and grew

True to his masters, to their Meeting true;

His old companions at his sober face

Laugh’d loud, while he, attesting it was grace,

With tears besought them all his calling to embrace:

To his new friends such convert gave applause,

Life to their zeal, and glory to their cause:

Though terror wrought the mighty change, yet strong

Was the impression, and it lasted long;
