Though modest souls all human praises shun And dread vain-glory, still must justice play Its fitting part and hail this festal day That cro"v\ais with meritorious honor one For fifty years God's priest and Mary's son,— True priest whose steps have trod the Saviour's way The while he owned Our Lady's potent sway And preached her glories as but few have done.
