He does not equal Isaiah in the sublimity of his conceptions and the variety of his imagery, but whatever may be the imperfections of his style, they are lost in the passion and vehemence of his poems. DANIEL, after having straggled against the corruptions of Babylon, boldly foretells the decay of that empire with terrible power.
