- When eer I take my walks a / broad how many poor I see / What shall I render to my god / for all his gifts to me not / more than others I deserve / yet god hath given more / For I have food while others / starve and beg from door to / door. Love thou the lord and / he will be a tender father unto / the(e) I am but yovng in years / and cannot show such Lines / as I unto yovr goodness ow / be pleased To smile upon / my poor endeavours and I / will strive to please and be / obedient ever.
