Metaphor in Context
Go, Christian! with th' endearing Pledges seal'd
Fresh on thy Soul, resembling Pattern show
How Jesus liv'd; thy lov'd and loving Lord.
Go, copy his Humility, his Zeal
To glorify his Father, his Contempt
Of vain, base Earth; Disciple of his Cross.
His Temp'rance copy, Resignation, Truth:
His Meekness, Pity, large Benevolence:
His godlike Fortitude, firm Constancy:
His Love of holy Privacy and Prayer.
Go, happy Fav'rite, feed his pining Poor,
Silent in patient Want; the friendless Poor,
His suff'ring Int'rest (by the selfish World
Neglected) Merit little mark'd below.
Thy Saviour-Judge, thy love-remember'd Work
With echoed Eugé shall applaud, and crown.
