That warmth divine, that holy eloquence,
Those thoughts sublime, conceptions so immense.
That holy zeal, that deep humility,
Extent of knowledge, perfect charity,
That dread of vice, of virtue such a love,
That true submission to the Will above,
That calm indifference to this changing scene,
That pity for the woes of mortal men,
That love and fear of the eternal Good,
That perfect hope in the Redeemer's blood;
Those grand ideas, language so divine,
Which charm, exalt, transport us in S AURIN ;
In reading him , these beauties still appear,
In hearing thee , these beauties charm mine ear;
Like to that prophet, who, as scriptures say,
His cloak and spirit left, then wing'd to heav'n his way.
