Side 173 - STERN Daughter of the Voice of God ! O Duty ! if that name thou love Who art a light to guide, a rod To check the erring, and reprove ; Thou, who art victory and law When empty terrors overawe, From vain temptations dost set free, And calm'st the weary strife of frail humanity!
Side 297 - Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him, let him know, that he which converteth a sinner from the error of his ways shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Side 94 - I have considered well his loss of time ; And how he cannot be a perfect man, Not being tried and tutored in the world: Experience is by industry achieved, And perfected by the swift course of time : Then, tell me, whither were I best to send him?
Side 288 - ... among the sedge, And floating water-lilies, broad and bright, Which lit the oak that overhung the hedge With moonlight beams of their own watery light; And bulrushes, and reeds of such deep green As soothed the dazzled eye with sober sheen.

But in the temple of their hireling hearts Gold is a living god, and rules in scorn All earthly things but virtue.
Side 101 - Gold ! and gold ! and gold without end ! He had gold to lay by, and gold to spend, Gold to give, and gold to lend, And reversions of gold in future. In wealth the family revell'd and roll'd ; Himself and wife and sons so bold ; And his daughters sang to their harps of gold " O bella eta del' oro !" Such was the tale of the Kilmansegg Kin, In golden text on a vellum skin.
