To answer to thine, or of woe or of gladness.
Chorus of Men and Women.
Over earth keeps watch the eye of light,
Guardeth lovingly the good man’s ways,
Sheddeth round him its consoling rays;—
Praise be to the Lord in heaven’s height!
[24]. This no doubt means a sort of arcaded veranda running along the outer wall of the house.
[25]. A contest in impromptu verse-making.
