If piety forbid such thoughts to rise,

Awake, and open your unwilling eyes:

}

God hath left nothing for each age undone, }

From this to that wherein he sent his Son; }

Then think but well of him, and half your work is done. }

}

See how his church, adorned with every grace, }

With open arms, a kind forgiving face, }

Stands ready to prevent her long-lost son's embrace! }
