Brethren, thus in rapture meeting, Send ye round the brimming cup, Yonder kindly spirit greeting, While the foam to heaven mounts up! CHORUS. He whom seraphs worship ever; Whom the stars praise as they roll, Yes to him now drain the bowl Mortal eye can see him never! Courage, ne'er by sorrow broken! Aid where tears of virtue flow; Faith to keep each promise spoken! Truth alike to friend and foe!
Two and two they jeer and crowd their way along into the spacious hall, the walls of which are frescoed in extravagant mythological designs, the roof painted in fret work, and the cornices interspersed with seraphs in stucco and gilt.
Either the poet himself, or some other person, is introduced, musing by a stream or lake, or in a forest, when the appearance of some celestial visitant, muse, spirit, or angel, suddenly awakens his attention. His abstractions are often exalted into cherubs and seraphs.
"How TWO sops what mean you?" said Foster "what mean you?" "You will know in time," said Varney; "and then this other banquet but thou wilt esteem Her too choice a morsel for the fiend's tooth she must have her psalms, and harps, and seraphs." Anthony Foster heard, and came slowly back to the table. "God! Sir Richard, and must that then be done?"
But here, each other's virtues we partake, Where men and women all their ills forsake: True virtue spreads her bright angelic wing, While saints and seraphs praise the Almighty King.
They came out of it as white men, wearing the costume of well-to-do rancheros or rather that of town traders broad glazed hats upon their heads, cloth jackets and trousers the latter having the seats and insides of the legs fended with a lining of stamped leather; boots with heavy spurs upon their feet, crape sashes around the waist, machetes strapped along the flaps of their saddles, and seraphs resting folded over the croup, gave the finishing touch to their travelling equipment.
How often would you have cried out in justifiable anger, 'I, son of Adam, am on earth, not in Paradise! Oh, that my Eve were at home on my hearth, and not in the skies with the seraphs! No Margrave, I venture to say, could have suspended the healthful affections, or charmed into danger the wide-awake soul of my Amy.
Barbara uttered a prolonged "Oh!" and again was silent, listening to the talk of the elemental spirits, feeling the very wind of home that blew on the mariner, seeing the lighthouse, and the hill, and the weathercock on the church-spire, and the white bay, and the shining seraphs with the crimson shadows, and the sinking ship, and the hermit that made the mariner tell his story as he was telling it now.
This workshop, it may be remembered, was the old chapel of the Abbey, a very beautiful and still perfect building, finished in early Tudor times, in which, by good fortune, the rich stained glass of the east window still remained. It made a noble and spacious laboratory, with its wide nave and lovely roof of chestnut wood, whereof the corbels were seraphs, white-robed and golden-winged.
"It is a company of angels," said Luigi, brokenly, "a cloud of seraphs with their gold harps! If they should sing," hazarded he, "it would be the song the Signorina gave me, alas, it is long since!" "It is a week," said she, laughing and lingering. "Eve!" came a warning voice. "That is the Signorina's name?" questioned Luigi, as he bent to help her cut the stems. "Eve, yes, they call me so."
