Who would true Valour see
  Let him come hither;
  One here will Constant be,
  Come Wind, come Weather.
  There's no Discourageme nt,
  Shall make him once Relent,
  His first avow'd Intent,
  To be a Pilgrim.

  Who so beset him round,
  With dismal Storys,
  Do but themselves Confound;
  His Strength the more is.
  No Lyon can him fright,
  He'l with a Gyant Fight,
  But he will have a right,
  To be a Pilgrim.

  Hobgoblin, nor foul Fiend,
  Can daunt his Spirit:
  He knows, he at the end,
  Shall Life Inherit.
  Then Fancies fly away,
  He'l fear not what men say,
  He'l labour Night and Day,
  To be a Pilgrim.
