Rash was the tongue, and unadvisedly bold, Which sought, Salome, for thy favoured twain Above their fellows, in Messiah’s reign On right, on left, the foremost place to hold. More rash, perhaps, and bolder, that which told Of power the Saviour’s bitter cup to drain, And, passing stretch of human strength, sustain His bath baptismal. Lord, by Thee enrolled Thy servant, grant me Thy Almighty grace, My destined portion of Thy griefs to bear, Ev’n what Thou wilt! But chiefly grant, Thy face Within Thy glory’s realm to see, whene’er Most meet Thy wisdom deems; whate’er the place, It must be blest, for Thou, my God, art there.
