Religion
Ruth 2:10: She Ixnved herself to the ground
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Religion pure rejects the dress
Of rude illiberal clownishness,
Nor calls it sinful courtesy
To' incline the head, or bow the knee;
Well-taught by her, respect we show,
And honour give where'er 'tis due,
But gladly pay to true desert
The humblest homage of the heart.
