Let your mitred Bishop stand
BY this uptsrnsd, yielding sod,
And with consecrated hand
Lay your conversion to God.
Then with skillful builders care,
Rear aloft your sacred dome;
Raise your steeple high in air
Pointing to a spirit home.
Let no bitter, burning brawls,
Foully nursed by blended zeal,
Ever echo round your walls
Fatal as the lannon's peal.
To your robed and tutored Priest,
Acting here the tector's part,
Let me hold some thoughts, at least,
Gushing warn.ly from my heart;
Whether pleasure come or pain;
Whether worldly gain or loss
When the crucible you drain,
Give us gold, refined from dro 3.
With a scholars loyal lore,
And a heart imbued with love,
Ever guard your chapel door
AS they guard the gates above.
Though your armor bids you face
All the elements of strife.
twill elevate your race
To a higher plain of life.
