[after Psalm 17:6, Isaiah 43:1, Habakkuk 3:18, Romans 1:6 and 10:13, Revelation 22:16, Matthew 2:2, and 2 Peter 1:19]
I called upon your Name, Lord, and You answered me
with gracious kindness and tenderest courtesy,
an answer received immediately
unto the joy (as the Holy Prophet Habakkuk wrote) of my Salvation,
and blessed with this Poetry, however minor, as my vocation.
