Star unto star speaks light, and world to world

Repeats the passage of the universe

To God; the name of Christ-the one great word

Well worth all languages in earth or Heaven. g. BAILEY-Festus. 1st Sc. Heaven.

Lovely was the death Of Him whose life was Love! Holy with power,

He on the thought-benighted Skeptic beamed Manifest Godhead.

h. COLERIDGE-Religious Musings. L. 29.
Hail, O bleeding Head and wounded,
With a crown of thorns surrounded,
Buffeted, and bruised and battered,
Smote with reed by striking shattered,

Face with spittle vilely smeared!
Hail, whose visage sweet and comely,
Marred by fouling stains and homely,
Changed as to its blooming color,
All now turned to deathly pallor,
Making heavenly hosts affeared!
