Classic Poem

To please the Prince, to be at peace,
good Christian hath it easy here;
for I have found Him, day and night,
a God, a Lord, a Friend full firm.
Over yon mound had I this hap,
prone there for pity of my Pearl;
to God I then committed it,
in Christ's dear blessing and mine own,—
Christ that in form of bread and wine
the priest each day to us doth shew;
He grant we be His servants leal,—
yea, precious Pearls to please Him aye!
