prayer.

    • When success exalts thy lot
    • God for thy virtue lays a plot.
    • And all thy life is for thy own,
    • Then for mankind's instruction shown;
    • And though thy knees were never bent,
    • To Heaven thy hourly prayers are sent,
    • And whether formed for good or ill
    • Are registered and answered still.
