Side 51 - And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought, and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

Side 51 - Dear Child ! dear Girl ! that walkest with me here, If thou appear untouched by solemn thought, Thy nature is not therefore less divine. Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year ; And worship'st at the Temple's inner shrine, God being with thee when we know it not.
Side 145 - To hear the lark begin his flight And singing startle the dull night From his watch-tower in the skies, Till the dappled dawn doth rise...
Side 36 - At length they all to merry London came, To merry London, my most kindly nurse. That to me gave this life's first native source, Though from another place I take my name, An house of ancient fame : There when they came whereas those bricky towers The which on Thames...
