No lion can him fright: he'll with a giant fight, but he will have the right to be a pilgrim. 3 Hobgoblin nor foul fiend can daunt his spirit; he knows he at the end shall life inherit. Then, fancies, fly away; he'll not fear what men say; he'll labour night and day to be a pilgrim. Topics: Proper 5 Year B Used With Tune: MONK'S GATE
