Religion
John 21:3: They went forth, and entered into a ship
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Their successors we find
In them and them alone
Who cast the pride of life behind,
And tread its pleasures down;
From each superfluous need,
From all ambition free,
Who love a toilsome life to lead
In patient poverty.
