The will to do thee justice thou'lt accept.

For those sweet verses thou didst send,
So good they were and witty;

To write a few lines to my dear Mrs. N.;
And though nothing of depth she has right to expect;
Yet the will for the deed she will not reject
... - 9. Hymn, Sung At The Ordination Of The Rev. Henry Allen.

To greet a pastor of our choice,
Without a single jarring note,
And without one dissenting voice.
