To reward all His labours, and lengthen His days,

In spite of the politic follies of Hell,

And vain contrivance of the destinies.

Tell Him, a Crown of Thorns no more

Shall His sacred temples gore,

For all the rigours of His life are o'er.

Wondrous Prince! design'd to show

What noble minds can bravely undergo,

You are our wonder, you our love;

20Earth from beneath, Heaven from above,
