Thine are all the gems of even, God of angels ! God of heaven! God of life, that fade shall never, Glory to thy name for ever.

Hogs.

Young men in the conduct and manage of actions embrace more than they can hold, stir more than they can quiet; fly to the end without consideration of the means and degrees; pursue some few principles which they have chanced upon absurdly; care not to innovate, which draws unknown inconveniencies; use extreme remedies at first, and, that which doubleth all errors, will not acknowledge or retract them. Bacon.

From The Italian Of Metastasio.

Waters from the ocean borne,

Bathe the valley and the hill, Prison'd in the fountain mourn,

Warble down the winding rill: But wherever doom'd to stray,

Still they murmur and complain, / Still pursue their lingering way,

Till they join their native main. After many a year of woe,

Many a long, long wandering past, Where at first they learned to flow;

There they hope to rest at last.
