Not less was his acknowledg'd worth

When ev'ry morn he sallied forth,

With expectation grave, to meet

Fortune's fresh smiles in Lombard-Street.

Upright in all his worldly dealing:—

But that high sense of noble feeling,

The humane impulse to relieve,

To wipe the eye of those who grieve,

The wish of goodness to impart

The bounties of a gen'rous heart,
