PERSEVERANCE.

Like as a mighty grampus, who, though assailed and
buffeted by roaring waves and brawling surges, still keeps
on an undeviating course; and though overwhelmed by
boisterous billows, still emerges from the troubled deep,

inflexible Peter pursue, unwavering, his determined career,
and rise contemptuous above the clamours of the
rabble.
