[CHAPTER XLII.]
Aud Adam Olliver’s “Nunc Dimittis.”
“The wise man, said the Bible, walks with God;
Surveys, far on, the endless line of life;
Values his soul; thinks of eternity;
Both worlds considers, and provides for both;
With reason’s eye his passions guards; abstains
From evil; lives on hope—on hope, the fruit
Of faith; looks upward; purifies his soul;
