Concluding Stanzas of a Piece wrote on Recovery from Sickness

Father of life! whose arm with equal power, And equal goodness, can depress or raise; Complete the blessings thou hast deign'd to show'r, And grant encreasing worth to length of days. Oh! grant me still to trust thy tender care, In humble praise to use this added breath, In health, the innocence of sickness wear, And keep, thro' life, the sober thoughts of death.
