Thy morning sigh, - Would God the day were done!

Thus shalt thou suffer, and to distant times

Regret thy misery, and lament thy crimes.”

A part there are, whom doubtless man might trust,

Worthy as wealthy, pure, religious, just;

They who with patience, yet with rapture, look

On the strong promise of the Sacred Book:

As unfulfill’d th’ endearing words they view,

And blind to truth, yet own their prophets true;

Well pleased they look for Sion’s coming state,
