Of him—thy Saviour and thy Lord:

Last in the clouds from heaven, to be revealed

In glory of the Father, to dissolve

Satan, with his perverted world; then raise

From the conflagrant mass, purged and refined,

New heavens, new earth, ages of endless date,

Founded in righteousness, and peace, and love,

To bring forth fruits, joy, and eternal bliss.”—Milton.

“The world shall burn, and from her ashes spring

New heavens and earth, wherein the just shall dwell,
