The verse runs off swiftly and gallantly. They abound in felicitous phrases O heav'nly Fool, thy most kiss-worthy face 8th Sonnet. Sweet pillows, sweetest bed; A chamber deaf to noise, and blind to light; A rosy garland, and a weary head. 2nd Sonnet. That sweet enemy, France 5th Sonnet.
And if, as unto Solomon, God should Propound to thee, What wouldst thou have? how would Thy heart and pulse beat after heav'nly things, After the upper and the nether springs? Couldst, with unfeigned heart and upright lip, Cry, Hold me fast, Lord, never let me slip, Nor step aside from faith and holiness, Nor from the blessed hope of future bliss?
Charm'd into Love, of what eclips'd their Fame! They mak'd Apollo, with her pow'rful Name. See! God of Grecian Wit! Urania cries, How sweet a Muse, the Western World supplies! Say, shou'd she ask some Favour, from your throne, What could you bid her take, that's not her own? Sparkling in Charms, the heav'nly Stranger view So grac'd! she scarce can owe a Beam to You!
A fearful cry followed the word. I paused a moment, and looking in, saw him supporting her insensible figure in his arms. He gazed for a few seconds in the face; then stooped to kiss it oh, how tenderly! and drew a handkerchief before it. 'Mas'r Davy, he said, in a low tremulous voice, when it was covered, 'I thank my Heav'nly Father as my dream's come true!
Each walking in his righteousness With shining crowns of gold, Triumphing still in heav'nly bliss, Amazing to behold. 45. Each person for his majesty Doth represent a king; Yea, angel-like for dignity, And seraphims that sing. 46. Each motion of their mind, and so Each twinkling of their eye; Each word they speak, and step they go, It is in purity. 47.
Sweet, it was saucy LOVE, not humble I. But no 'scuse serves; she makes her wrath appear In beauty's throne see now, who dares come near Those scarlet judges, threat'ning bloody pain? O heav'nly Fool, thy most kiss-worthy face Anger invests with such a lovely grace, That anger's self I needs must kiss again.
In the following "Dialogue" "confession of sins" is urged and enforced: Q. Why did you choose this way you're in, which all mankind despise? A. It was to save my soul from sin, and gain a heav'nly prize. Q. But could you find no other way, that would have done as well? A. Nay, any other way but this would lead me down to hell. Q. Well, tell me how did you begin to purge away your dross?
From an Hymn to the Evening . "Fill'd with the praise of him who gives the light, And draws the sable curtains of the night, Let placid slumbers sooth each weary mind, At morn to wake more heav'nly and refin'd; So shall the labours of the day begin, More pure and guarded from the snares of sin. &c. &c." From an Hymn to the Morning.
No frowns of men can hurtful prove To souls on fire with heav'nly love; Though men and devils both condemn, No gloomy days arise for them. While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none; But with a God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay.
"Yes; `Friendship and Love' is my toast, whenever I am called upon at the club. What does Campbell say?" "I'm sure I don't know." "I'll tell you, Tom: "`Without the smile from heav'nly beauty won, Oh, what were man? A world without a sun."
