Will seldom scruple to make free
With friendships finest feeling,
Will thrust a dagger at your breast,
And say he wounded you in jest,
By way of balm for healing.”

By seraphs writ with beams of heavenly light,
On which the eyes of God not rarely look,
A chronicle of actions just and bright
There all thy deeds, my faithful Mary, shine;
And since thou ownst that praise, I spare thee mine.”
