ENVOY
Now may this little book a blessing be
To those who love this little book and me,
And may its buyer have no cause to say,
His money is but lost or thrown away;
Yea, may this Second Pilgrim yield that fruit,
As may with each good Pilgrim's fancy suit;
And may it pérsuade some that go astray,
To turn their feet and heart to the right way,
Is the hearty prayer of
The Author,
—John Bunyan.
