  2.                      John Bunyan (1622-1674)
  3.                     
  4.                        TO BE A PILGRIM
  5.                     
  6.                     He who would valiant be
  7.                       'Gainst all disaster,
  8.                     Let him in constancy
  9.                       Follow the master.
  10.                     There's no discouragement
  11.                     Shall make him once relent
  12.                     His first avowed intent
  13.                       To be a pilgrim.
  14.                     
  15.                     Who so beset him round
  16.                       With dismal stories,
  17.                     Do but themselves confound -
  18.                       His strength the more is.
  19.                     No foes shall stay his might,
  20.                     Though he with giants fight:
  21.                     He will make good his right 
  22.                       To be a pilgrim.
  23.                     
  24.                     Since, Lord, thou dost defend
  25.                       Us with thy Spirit,
  26.                     We know we at the end
  27.                       Shall life inherit.
  28.                     Then fancies flee away!
  29.                     I'll fear not what men say,
  30.                     I'll labour night and day
  31.                       To be a pilgrim.
