LAST LINES OF THE RELIGIO MEDICI

Bless me in this life with but peace of my conscience, command of my

affections, the love of Thyself and my dearest friends, and I shall be

happy enough to pity Caesar. These are, O Lord, the humble desires of my

most reasonable ambition, and all I dare call happiness on earth; wherein

I set no rule or limit to Thy hand of Providence; dispose of me according

to the wisdom of Thy pleasure. Thy will be done, though in my own

undoing.
