The Works of Charles Lamb - With a Sketch of His Life #246322

Your grandson dear, with happiness; That, as I do advance each year, I may be taught my God to fear; My little frame from passion free, To man's estate from infancy From vice, that turns a youth aside, And to have wisdom for my guide; That I may neither lie nor swear, But in the path of virtue steer; My actions generous, firm, and just, Be always faithful to my trust; And thee the Lord will ever bless. Your grandson dear.
