O ever worthy, ever crowned in praise.
Blest in thy ways and blest in thy life,
Add that your every thought be faultless as
God's line; thy body be holy, thy acts be
merciful.
Sin still with fiercer rage pursues; obscuring
the virture, defaming the muse.
A soul like thine, in pain, in grief resigns.
'the good lord you serve, never to harm shall bring you'
