Say ye apostate and profane	A
Wretches who blush not to disdain	A
Allegiance to your God	B
Did e'er your idly wasted love	C
Of virtue for her sake remove	D
And lift you from the crowd	E
	-
	-
Would you the race of glory run	F
Know the devout and they alone	G
Are equal to the task	H
The labours of the illustrious course	I
Far other than the unaided force	I
Of human vigour ask	H
	-
	-
To arm against reputed ill	J
The patient heart too brave to feel	K
The tortures of despair	L
Nor safer yet high crested pride	M
When wealth flows in with every tide	M
To gain admittance there	L
	-
	-
To rescue from the tyrant's sword	N
The oppress'd unseen and unimplored	N
To cheer the face of woe	O
From lawless insult to defend	N
An orphan's right a fallen friend	N
And a forgiven foe	O
	-
	-
These these distinguish from the crowd	N
And these alone the great and good	N
The guardians of mankind	N
Whose bosoms with these virtues heave	P
O with what matchless speed they leave	P
The multitude behind	N
	-
	-
Then ask ye from what cause on earth	Q
Virtues like these derive their birth	Q
Derived from Heaven alone	G
Full on that favour'd breast they shine	R
Where faith and resignation join	S
To call the blessing down	T
	-
	-
Such is that heart but while the muse	U
Thy theme O Richardson pursues	U
Her feeble spirits faint	N
She cannot reach and would not wrong	V
The subject for an angel's song	V
The hero and the saint	N
