God's prophet is become a lying knave.

O saddest day the sun e'er shone upon

When cowers the Cross, the standard of the slave,

And Christ is made the tyrant's champion!

Juvenilia.

XXX VOICE OF GOD

Hark! In the temple the voice of God is sounding.

“O people of one speech and one endeavour

Yours is the land with my best gifts abounding

Whereon the smile of heaven is resting ever!
