Listen and save. ABRINA fair, listen where thou art sitting under the glassy, cool, translucent wave, in twisted braids of lilies knitting the loose train of thy amber-dropping hair; listen, for dear honour's sake, * goddess of the silver lake; Rise, rise and heave thy rosy head from thy coral-paven bed, and bridle in thy headlong wave till thou our summons answered have: listen and save. MILTON. Audi casta Puellas. ABRINA, nostras rite memor preces iam liliorum flore recentium Argentei te fluminis incolam cura tibi superest puellas. Quid te morantem detinet? Ilicet antro relicto, purpureis ubi fulget pavimentum lapillis, nympha potens, roseos precamur exserta vultus aequore prodeas C. T. N. CARMINA SACRA. The Lord the Creator. ENEATH thy all-directing rod both worlds and worms are equal, God. and lighted yonder glowworm too. BOWRING.. Deus est quodcumque vides. ERUM summe parens, tuae bilances et lampyridis edidit lucernam. caeli tu rutilum lacunar idem et lili niveam creas corollam. F F K. The Captive Israelites. E sat and wept by Babel's stream, come, sing us one of Sion's lays." a song the Lord was wont to hear? may my right hand forget its skill; than dearest joys less dear to me. PSALM CXXXVII. CAMBRIDGE VERSION. The Fathers. HE fathers are in dust, yet live to God:" so says the Truth; as if the motionless clay still held the seeds of life beneath the sod, smouldering and struggling till the judgment-day. and hence we learn with reverence to esteem of these frail houses, though the grave confines: sophist may urge his cunning tests, and deem that they are earth;—but they are heavenly shrines.
