What mortal, when he saw, / Life's voyage done, his heavenly Friend, / Could ever yet dare tell him fearlessly: / "I have kept uninfring'd my nature's law; / The inly-written chart thou gavest me, / To guide me, I have steer'd by to the end"?
Ah! let us make no claim / On life's incognizable sea, / To too exact a steering of our way!
