cii The HOUSE call'd BEAUTIFUL; the lowly VAle The VALLEY, named OF DEATH, by shades of night The TOWN OF VANITY, where bigot spite, Ever with Christian Pilgrimage at strife, To martyr'd FAITHFUL gave the Crown of endless Life! Thence, on with Christian, and his HOPEFUL peer, TO BEULAH'S SUNNY PLAINS, where sweetly blend To such celestial visions can give birth, For few may boast a juster, prouder claim Than thine, whose labours blending harmless mirth With sagest counsel's higher, holier aim, • Have from the wise and good won honorable Fame. And still for marvelling Childhood, blooming Youth, Richly adorn thy allegoric page, Pointing the warfare Christians yet must wage, Of the rough path thy holy Travellers trod, The PILGRIM'S PROGRESS marks to glory, and to God!
