Father, I do acknowledge and confess
That I this honor, I this pomp have brought
To Dagon, and advancβd his praises high
among the Heathen round; to God have brought
Dishonor, obloquy, and opβd the mouths
Of Idolists, and Atheists
[β¦]The anguish of my Soul, that suffers not
Mine eye to harbor sleep, or thoughts to rest.
This only hope relieves me, that the strife
With mee hath end.
