Yet the deceiving heart
Will fret against the Lord!
When mirth in anguish ends,
Man dreads the truth to own
That from the Lord all good descends,
Despair from sin alone!
CHAPTER XV.
THE BEAUTIFUL VILLA.
“Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.”—Prov. xxxi. 20.
