Page 333 - THE Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock ; in him will I trust: He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, My saviour ; thou savest me from violence.

Demands the service of a mind and heart, Though sensitive, yet, in their weakest part, Heroically fashioned — to infuse Faith in the whispers of the lonely Muse, While the whole world seems adverse to desert. And, oh ! when Nature sinks, as oft she may, Through long-lived pressure of obscure distress, Still to be strenuous for the bright reward, And in the soul admit of no decay, Brook no continuance of weak-mindedness — Great is the glory, for the strife is hard !
