...No more of talk where God or Angel guest
With Man, as with his friend, familiar us'd,
To sit indulgent, and with him partake
Rural repast; permitting him the while
Venial discourse unblam'd. I now must change
Those notes to tragick; foul distrust, and breach

And disobedience: on the part of Heaven
Now alienated,...Read more of this...

At Jordan with the Baptist, and had seen
Him whom they heard so late expressly called
Jesus Messiah, Son of God, declared,

And with him talked, and with him lodged—I mean

With others, though in Holy Writ not named—
Now missing him, th...Read more of this...

WHAT dire Offence from am'rous Causes springs,

Where Thames with pride surveys his rising tow'rs,

While I relate a terrible tale of the sea,
Concerning the screw steamer "Storm Queen"

And soon after entering the Bay of Biscay,
On the 21st of December, they experienced a fearful storm
Such as they never exp...Read more of this...

To praise the monarch of the earth and skies,

Or when the morning glows with rosy charms,
Or the sun slumbers in the ocean's arms:
Of light divine be a rich portion lent
To guide my soul, and favour my intend.
