1" And when we said unto the angels, Worship Adam, they all worshipped him except Eblis (Lucifer), who refused." The Koran, chap. ii. 2 Moses.

3 This is according to D'Herbelot's account of the doctrines of Mokanna: -"Sa doctrine étoit, que Dieu avoit pris une forme et figure humaine, depuis qu'il eut commandé aux Anges d'adorer Adam, le premier des hommes. Qu' après la mort d'Adam, Dieu étoit apparu sous la figure de plusieurs Prophètes, et autres grands hommes qu'il avoit choisis, jusqu'à ce qu'il prit celled Abu Moslem, Prince de Khorassan, lequel professoit l'erreur de la Tenassukhiah on Metempschychose; et qu'après la mort de ce Prince, la Divinité étoit passée, et descendue en sa per

sonne."

4 Jesus.

As are the momentary meteors sent Across the uncalm but beauteous firmament.

And then her look-oh! where's the heart so wise

Could unbewildered meet those matchless eyes?

Quick, restless, strange, but exquisite withal,

Like those of angels just before their fall;

Now shadowed with the shames of earth now crost

By glimpses of the Heaven her heart had lost;

In every glance there broke without control,

The flashes of a bright but troubled soul,
Where sensibility still wildly played
Like lightning round the ruins it had
made!
