The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to-day, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play? Pleased to the last, he crops the flowery food, And licks the hand just raised to shed his blood.

263. oldal - And ye five other wand'ring fires, that move In mystic dance not without song, resound His praise, who out of darkness call'd up light.
