BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. 23 



And the best of all prophets was once known to say 

 That no prophet had honor at home, in his <^ay; 

 And therefore we must wait for time's wheel to come 'round, 

 And submit to that chance where no better is found. 



If 'tis true in all cases that men get their pay 

 For all trouble, in this life, as some people ?ay; 

 Then, fate, please be lib'ral and help him to a share 

 Of the credit that's due for his labor and care.
