How truly profitable hath been grace preserved in silence in this frail life, which, as we are told, is all temptation and warfare. Psalm lx. 11. St. Agatha. Psalm cxvi. 11; Romans iii. 4. Matthew x. 17, 36. Matthew xxiv. 23. Of having confidence in God when evil words are cast at us "My Son, stand fast and believe in Me. For what are words but words?
'What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me? 13. I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. PSALM cxvi. 12, 13. There may possibly be a reference here to a part of the Passover ritual. It seems to have become the custom in later times to lift high the wine cup at that feast and drink it with solemn invocation and glad thanksgiving.

Sir Philip Sidney wrote many love sonnets, the best of which is the one beginning: "With how sad steps. O Moon, thou climb'st the Skies!" Edmund Spencer composed fifty-eight sonnets in one year to chronicle his varied emotions as a lover. We may find among Shakespeare's 154 sonnets some of the greatest love lyrics in the language, such, for instance, as CXVI., containing the lines:
