    ' Restraint's foul manacles his pleasures maim ; ' Selected guests selected phrases claim : ' Nor reigns that joy, when hand in hand they join, * That good old Master felt in shaking mine. ' Heaven bless his memory! bless his honour'd name * (The Poor will speak his lasting worthy fame :) * To souls fair-purpos'd strength and guidance give; * In pity to us still let goodness live : ' Let labour have its due! my cot shall be * From chilling want and guilty murmurs free : * Let labour have its due; then peace is mine, * And never, never shall my heart repine.' r
