Some pray in temples amid lights and hues,

Beauty's bright aid mistrustingly refuse.

Habit, tradition, phantasy, or youth—

So dear to Him on whom ye daily call,

The sunshine of that love that blesses all?

To the Memory of Spencer, Marquis of Northampton.

A blessing

Our guide across the midnight sea;

Himself a burning light should be.

Thy beams were justice, faith, and love;

Since thou art with the lights above.
