Thomson.

Some high or humble enterprise of good

Contemplate, till it shall possess thy mind,

Become thy study, pastime, rest, and food,

And kindle in thy heart a flame refined.

Pray Heaven for firmness thy whole soul to bind

To this thy purpose—to begin, pursue,

With thoughts all fixed, and feelings purely kind;

Strength to complete, and with delight review,

And grace to give the praise where all is ever due.
