THE PILGRIM [SONG], FR. THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, by JOHN BUNYAN Poet's Biography First Line: Who would true valour see Last Line: To be a pilgrim. Variant Title(s): Mr. Valiant-for-truth;valiant-for-truth's Song Subject(s): Pilgrimages & Pilgrims | ||||||||
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 avowed intent To be a pilgrim. Whoso beset him 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 not fear what men say; He'll labour night and day To be a pilgrim. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOTHS: 1.
