Whatsoever thou takest in Hand, remember the End, and thou shalt never do amiss.
Ecclesiasticusvii. 36.
Spotless to live if thou desir’st,And free from every Vice,Let this Memorial constantlyBe placed before thine Eyes.For it will often thee remind,That Death will soon arrive,And frequent Thought to all thy ActsWill a due Caution give.Vouchsafe, O Christ, with Heart sincere,That we thy Paths may tread,And that to all the heav’nly PathMay thus be open made.
