He'll charge his Angels, thee to keep, In all thy Ways, from Harms, They, lest a Stone offend thy Feet, Shall bear thee in their Arms. On th' Asp, and Lyon, thou shalt tread, Fearless, when e'er ye meet; The Lyon young, and Dragons fierce, Shalt trample under Feet.

"When e'er he calls, I'll answer him; "In Troubles I'll be nigh, "To rescue him from ev'ry Ill; "And raise his Honour high. "With Length of Days, as best shall be, "I'll satisfy his Soul; "Then my Salvation to him shew, "Where endless Pleasures rowl.
