“No!” replied Mark Sutherland, reverently,—“Immortal!”
CHAPTER XXXIV.
“TAKE UP THE BURTHEN OF LIFE AGAIN.”
“Blaspheme not thou thy sacred life, nor turn
O’er joys that God hath for a reason lent,
Perchance to try thy spirit and its bent,
Effeminate soul and base! weakly to mourn.
“Art thou already weary of the way—
Thou who hast yet but half the way gone o’er?
Get up and lift thy burthen; lo, before
Thy feet the road goes stretching far away.”—Fanny Kemble.
