Prayer ardent opens heaven.
The soft whispers of the God in man.
And all may do what has by man been done.
The booby father craves a booby son, And by Heaven's blessing thinks himself undone.
Procrastination is the thief of time: Year after year it steals, till all are fled.
One to destroy, is murder by the law; and gibbets keep the lifted hand in awe; to murder thousands, takes a specious name, 'War's glorious art', and gives immortal fame.
