עמוד 128 - My own East ! How nearer God we were ! He glows above With scarce an intervention, presses close And palpitatingly, his soul o'er ours : We feel him, nor by painful reason know...
עמוד 290 - tis clear if we refuse The means so limited, the tools so rude To execute our purpose, life will fleet, And we shall fade, and leave our task undone.
