Thoughts on Imputed Righteousness - Occasioned by Reading Theron and Aspasio : Part I.
© John Byrom
Imputed Righteousness! - beloved Friend,
To what advantage can this Doctrine tend?
If at the same time a Believer's breast,
Be not by real Righteousness possest?
And if it be, why volumes on it made,
With such a stress upon the imputed laid?

DERE was an old nigger, and him name was Uncle Tom,
And him tale was rather slow;
The Beauty Places

Here she walked and romped about,
And here beneath this apple tree
Where all the grass is trampled out
The swing she loved so used to be.
This path is but a path to you,
Because my child you never knew.
The Death of Parson Caldwell's Wife
© Mercy Otis Warren
THE outrage of innocence in instances too numerous to be recorded, of the wanton barbarity of the soldiers of the King of England, as they patrolled the defenceless villages of America, was evinced nowhere more remarkably than in the burnings and massacres every that, marked the footsteps of the British troops as they from time to time ravaged the State of New Jersey

Dark the sea was: but I saw him,
One great head with goggle eyes,
Like a diabolic cherub
Flying in those fallen skies.
Memories
© Leon Gellert
I see wild waves that break, and breaking-run;
And the wild sea-birds wheeling round the ships;
But at the dawn, the coming of the sun,
I see your red, red lips.
The Farewell To The Dead
© Felicia Dorothea Hemans
Come near!-ere yet the dust
Soil the bright paleness of the settled brow,
Look on your brother, and embrace him now,
In still and solemn trust!
Come near!-once more let kindred lips be press'd
On his cold cheek; then bear him to his rest!

Though red my blood hath left its trail
For five far miles, I shall not fail,

THE LIMIT OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
There is a vice in the world's reasoning. Man
Has conquered knowledge. He has conquered power;
He has traced out the universal plan
Mr. Finney's Turnip
© Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Mr. Finney had a turnip,
And it grew, and it grew,
And it grew behind the barn,
And the turnip did no harm.
A Comparison

The lapse of time and rivers is the same,
Both speed their journey with a restless stream;

© Arthur Maquarie
TELL me what boots to battle, when the end
Is foreseen failure? What, by heaven, I ask
Sampson's Lion
© John Newton
The lion that on Sampson roared,
And thirsted for his blood;
With honey afterwards was stored,
And furnished him with food.
Thistledown
© Harold Monro
This might have been a place for sleep,
But, as from that small hollow there
Hosts of bright thistledown begin
Their dazzling journey through the air,
An idle man can only stare.
Manos Karastefanes

Death took my father.
The same year (I was twelve)
Thanási's mother taught me
Heaven and hell.
Trehill Well
© Charles Kingsley
There stood a low and ivied roof,
As gazing rustics tell,
In times of chivalry and song
'Yclept the holy well.
A Preference

Ovahseah lak his whiskey,
But dat othah drink is mine,
Des' 'lasses an' watah, 'lasses an' watah.

I fling the past behind me, like a robe
Worn threadbare at the seams, and out of date.
Come Back
© Henry William Herbert
COME back and bring my life again
That went with thee beyond my will!
