The Priest

I myself also am a mortal Man, like to all.

Wisdom vii. 1.

The holy Sacrament, behold,
Celestial Gift, I bear,
The sick Man, at the Hour of Death,
With certain Hope to cheer.

Ev’n I myself am mortal too,
And the same Laws obey,
And shall like him, when Time shall come,
To Death be made a Prey.
