John Bunyan's To be a Pilgrim, read by Richard Wallace

The Pilgrim

BY JOHN BUNYAN

Who would true Valour see 
Let him come hither; 
One here will Constant be, 
Come Wind, come Weather. 
There's no Discouragement
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
