Hymn 119

...rverts the same
To guilt, despair, and death.

Till God diffuse his graces down,
Like showers of heav'nly rain,
In vain Apollos sows the ground,
And Paul may plant in vain....Read more of this...

On the Death of a Minister

...the throne;
Nor knew that all Elijah's gifts
Would soon be made his own.

What! when a Paul has run his course,
Or when Apollos dies,
Is Israel left without resource,
And have we no supplies?

Yes, while the dear Redeemer lives,
We have a boundless store,
And shall be fed with what He gives,
Who lives for evermore....Read more of this...

Upon a Little Lady Under the Discipline of an Excellent Person

...eforth, be ever seen to stand, 
Grasping a Scourge of Vipers in thy Hand, 
Thy Hand, that Furie like------But see!

Upon the saying that my VERSES were made by another

...t to my flatter'd sight
Didst Glories represent so Near, and Bright ? 
By thee deceiv'd, methought, each Verdant Tree, 
Apollos transform'd Daphne seem'd to be; 
And ev'ry fresher Branch, and ev'ry Bow
Appear'd as Garlands to empale my Brow. 
The Learn'd in Love say, Thus the Winged Boy
Does first approach, drest up in welcome Joy; 
At first he to the Cheated Lovers sight
Nought represents, but Rapture and Delight, 
Alluring Hopes, Soft Fears, which stronger bind
Their Hearts...Read more of this...

Wreath the Bowl

...
Towards heaven to-night, 
And leave dull earth behind us. 

'Twas nectar fed 
Of old, 'tis said, 
Their Junos, Joves, Apollos, 
And man may brew 
His nectar too, 
The rich receipt's as follows: 
Take wine like this, 
Let looks of bliss 
Around it well be blended, 
Then bring Wit's beam 
To warm the stream, 
And there's your nectar, splendid! 
So, wreath the bowl, 
With flowers of soul, 
The brightest Wit can find us, 
We'll take a flight 
Towards heaven to-night, 
And leave...Read more of this...
