391. PERS. Sat. ii. v. 3.

'Thou know'st to join No bribe unhallow'd to a prayer of thine; Thine, which can ev'ry ear's full test abide, Nor need be mutter'd to the G.o.ds aside!

No, thou aloud may'st thy pet.i.tions trust!

Thou need'st not whisper; other great ones must; For few, my friend, few dare like thee be plain, And prayer's low artifice at shrines disdain.

Few from their pious mumblings dare depart, And make profession of their inmost heart.

Keep me, indulgent Heaven, through life sincere, Keep my mind sound, my reputation clear.
