A Pilgrim

Who would true valor 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 avowed intent

To be a pilgrim.

 

Who so beset round

With dismal stories,

Do but themselves confound;

His strength the more is.

No lion can him fright,

He'll with a giant 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'll fear not what men say;

He'll labor night and day

To be a pilgrim.

 

"Valiant for the Truth," a character in Pilgrim's Progress, the Second Part, by John Bunyan
