- O Lord, I wish to promote thy holy religion which is dreadfully neglected. I am desirous to save young persons from the vices of the age. (en)
- How large the debt of gratitude I owe,
How was I counsell'd, aided, prais'd and lov'd.
Let others tell,
Thy apostolic ministry to youth,
Thy faithful service to the Church and Throne.
'Tis mine, receiv'd within the social hall,
The hidden gems of virtue to record;
A genius pure from envy's tainting gall,
Meek in reproach, and careless of reward...
For seventy years thy lamp benignly shone,
And thousands hail'd it as a guiding star. (en)
