Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted.—Micah, ii. 10.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.—Hebrews, iv. 1, 9.
I pass, with melancholy state,
By all these solemn heaps of fate,
And think, as soft and sad I tread
Above the venerable dead,
“Time was, like me, they life possessed;
And time will be, when I shall rest.”
Parnell.
