by Unknown

Stript of those robes which make it honour here,

Before that throne the murder will appear,

Disrobed of ornament the sin is there;

The crime is Cain’s; why not his judgment share—

An outcast on the earth, and in the Heaven,

O God! can crimes like these be e’er forgiven?

Anon.

HOPE.

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God.—Psalm cxlvi. 5.
