O’er her bright scenes sublime repose she threw,

As all around the Godhead’s presence knew,

And robed the Holy One’s benignant mien

In beaming mercy, majesty serene.

Oh! mark where Raphael’s pure and perfect line

Portrays that form ineffably divine!

Where with transcendant skill his hand has shed

Diffusive sunbeams round the Saviour’s head;[11]

Each heaven-illumined lineament imbued

With all the fulness of beatitude,
