Hymn 26

by Isaac Watts
 Hope of heaven by the resurrection of Christ.

1 Pet. 1:3-5. 

Blest be the everlasting God,
The Father of our Lord;
Be his abounding mercy praised,
His majesty adored.

When from the dead he raised his Son,
And called him to the sky,
He gave our souls a lively hope
That they should never die.

What though our inbred sins require
Our flesh to see the dust,
Yet as the Lord our Savior rose,
So all his followers must.

There's an inheritance divine
Reserved against that day;
'Tis uncorrupted, undefiled,
And cannot waste away.

Saints by the power of God are kept
Till the salvation come;
We walk by faith as strangers here,
Till Christ shall call us home.

Sydney Cup 1899

by Andrew Barton Paterson
 Of course they say if this Bobadil starts 
He'll settle 'em all in a flash: 
For the pace he can go will be breaking their hearts, 
And he ends with the "Bobadil dash". 
But there's one in the race is a fance of mine 
Whenever the distance is far -- 
Crosslake! He's inbred to the Yattendon line, 
And we know what the Yattendons are. 
His feet are his trouble: they're tender as gum! 
If only his feet are got straight, 
If the field were all Bobadils --let 'em all come 
So long as they carry the weight. 
For a three-year-old colt with nine-three on his back -- 
Well, he needs to be rather a star! 
And with seven stone ten we will trust the old black, 
For we know what the Yattendons are. 

He is sired by Lochiel, which ensures that his pace 
Is enough, and a little to spare. 
But the blood that will tell at the end of the race 
Is the blood of the Yattendon mare. 
And this "Bobby" will find, when the whips are about, 
It's a very fast journey and far. 
And there's just the least doubt -- will he battle it out? 
Nut we know what the Yattendons are. 

In the rest of the field there are some that can stay, 
And a few that can fly -- while they last. 
But the old black outsider will go all the way, 
And finish uncommonly fast. 
If his feet last him out to the end of the trip -- 
Bare-footed or shod with a bar -- 
If he once gets this Bobadil under the whip, 
Then he'll show what the Yattendons are.

Sonnet XXIV: O Thou! Meek Orb

by Mary Darby Robinson
 O thou! meek Orb! that stealing o'er the dale
Cheer'st with thy modest beams the noon of night!
On the smooth lake diffusing silv'ry light,
Sublimely still, and beautifully pale!
What can thy cool and placid eye avail,
Where fierce despair absorbs the mental sight,
While inbred glooms the vagrant thoughts invite,
To tempt the gulph where howling fiends assail?
O, Night! all nature owns thy temper'd pow'r;
Thy solemn pause, thy dews, thy pensive beam;
Thy sweet breath whisp'ring in the moonlight bow'r,
While fainting flow'rets kiss the wand'ring stream!
Yet, vain is ev'ry charm! and vain the hour,
That brings to madd'ning love, no soothing dream!
