INVOCATION: A POET’S PRAYER
“Words are like leaves, and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.”—Alexander Pope
The aim below, tis’ my wish and my hope:
Comply with the decree of Master Pope,
And squander not words, nor waste precious time,
And blight not Doctrine put to verse and rhyme.
For Canons ought not the foolish to bear;
So, please God, as I write this prayer,
Give content, balance, junction to each part,
And let faith be enhanc’d by reason’s art.
