Strophe xlv.

This passage was written with Southey’s famous lines in memory, beginning “Oh when a mother meets on high.”


As God in flesh did once declare.

Strophe lxv.

See the Gospel for the second Sunday in Advent.


That hath all colours bright.

Strophe lxvi.

A year or so after this was written, I read some of the Dialogues of Plato, and found in the Phædon, (I think,) a passage, which might be supposed to have suggested this whole strophe.
