The Lord's Prayer in Verse

Almighty father! of high Heaven possess'd!
Be thy name holy, and thy power confess'd!
Teach us, on earth to know, and do thy will ;
As Heaven's bright train thy great commands fulfill.
Gracious, our daily bread of life, bestow:
And show us mercy , as we mercy show:
Guard us, from strong temptation's powerful call,
Nor, when we meet with evil , let us fall .

Epigram

All I said was—Alexis is gorgeous. Now
Everyone stares, ogles him everywhere.
Dear heart, why show the dogs a bone? You'll care
Later. Remember? Phaidros went that way too.
