On Losing the Power of Speech
Summe Pater, quodcunque tuum de corpore Numen
Hoc statuat, precibus Christus adesse velit:
Ingenio parcas, nec sit mihi culpa rogâsse,
Qua solum potero parte, placere tibi.
Nocte, inter 16 et 17 Junii 1783Almighty Father, whatever Thy Divinity decrees concerning this body, may Christ be willing to hear my prayers: spare my mind, and let it not be an offence in me to ask to please Thee with the only faculty with which I can do so.
Night, between 16 and 17 June 1783
