Jubilate Agno: Fragment B Part 4

...er food of birds and men are bound to cultivate it for their use. 

For they that study the works of God are peculiarly assisted by his Spirit. 

For all the creatures mentiond by Pliny are somewhere or other extant to the glory of God. 

For Rye is food rather for fowls than men. 

For Rye-bread is not taken with thankfulness. 

For the lack of Rye may be supplied by Spelt. 

For languages work into one another by their bearings.

...s of the truth. 

For there was such a person a cunning player on the harp. 

For he was a believer in the true God and assisted in the spirit. 

For he play'd upon the harp in the spirit by breathing upon the strings. 

For this will affect every thing that is sustaind by the spirit, even every thing in nature. 

For it is the business of a man gifted in the word to prophecy good. 

For it will be better for England and all the world in a season, as I prophecy this day.

Nearly A Valediction

...omebody I learn to live
with through the downpulled winter days' routine
wakings and sleepings, half-and-half caffeine-
assisted mornings, laundry, stock-pots, dust-
balls in the hallway, lists instead of longing, trust
that what comes next comes after what came first.
She'll never be a story I make up.
You were the one I didn't know where to stop.
If I had blamed you, now I could forgive
you, but what made my cold hand, back in prox-

Parable Of Faith

...has tried to be
true to the moment; is there another way of being
true to the self?

The lady
hides her face, somewhat
assisted by the shadows. She weeps
for her past; when one has a secret life,

one's tears are never explained.

Yet gladly would the king bear
the grief of his lady: his
is the generous heart,
in pain as in joy.

Do you know
what forgiveness mean? it mean
the world has sinned, the world
must be pardoned --...Read more of this...

The Capture of Lucknow

...
Leith Hay himself was among the first across,
And gained a footing on the other side without any personal loss;
And he assisted in helping the rest out of the ditch,
While the din of war was at the highest pitch. 

'Twas then the struggle commenced in terrible earnest:
While every man was resolved to do his best;
And the enemy barricaded every entrance so as a single man could only pass,
Determined to make a strong resistance, and the British to harass. 

But barrier after b...Read more of this...

And he was ordered to attack the Cashmere Bastion. 

The British were entirely in command.
Of Major-General Reid, assisted by Brigadier-Generals Wilson and Burnand;
After a long march, fighting through a hostile country,
And the brave heroes took up a position before the city. 

Delhi gates were encircled with a fringe of fire,
But the British resolved to die rather than retire;
And the brave fellows rushed, towards the gate
Carrying the powder bags that were to seal th...Read more of this...

Upon Nothing

...mptiness's hand,
Snatched men, beasts, birds, fire, air, and land.
Matter, the wickedest offspring of thy race,
By Form assisted, flew from thy embrace,
And rebel Light obscured thy reverend dusky face.
With Form and Matter, Time and Place did join,
Body, thy foe, with these did leagues combine
To spoil thy peaceful realm, and ruin all thy line.
But turncoat Time assists the foe in vain,
And, bribed by thee, assists thy short-lived reign,
And to thy hungry womb drives back th...Read more of this...
