That my low conduct may not show,
Nor my relenting lines,

That I thy purpose did not know,
Or overrated thy designs.

MISSION

I'VE searched my faculties around,
To learn why life to me was lent:
I will attend the faintest sound,

And then declare to man what God hath meant.

DELAY

No generous action can delay

Or thwart our higher, steadier aims;

But if sincere and true are they,

It will arouse our sight, and nerve our frames.
