CHANCE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "CHANCE, IN WHOM MEN START AND END"
Last Line: GODDESS EXCELLENT AND BEST
Subject(s): LUCK;

CHANCE, in whom men start and end,
Throned on high in Wisdom's place,
Glory to man's work you send.
More the good your presence brings
Than the evil; such a grace
Shines about your golden wings.
When your ruling balance swings,
What it gives endures most blest.
For the pathless and distressed
You have found a guiding way,
In the darkness bringing day,
Goddess excellent and best.
