Стр. 106 - When God at first made man, Having a glass of blessings standing by, Let us, said he, pour on him all we can. Let the world's riches, which dispersed lie, Contract into a span.
Стр. 108 - To see their mother-root when they have blown; Where they together All the hard weather, Dead to the world, keep house unknown. These are Thy wonders, Lord of power, Killing and quickening, bringing down to hell And up to heaven in an hour; Making a chiming of a passing-bell.
