HIPPOLYTUS.
Martyr and Bishop, honour'd name,
Thine earthly place unknown,
Whom East and West alike may claim,
But neither prove their own!
Thine earthly place unknown,
Whom East and West alike may claim,
But neither prove their own!
Thine eye seems watching every where,
And every where divines
The Antichrist approaching near,
'Mid dread portending signs.
And every where divines
The Antichrist approaching near,
'Mid dread portending signs.
Thus like a spirit, with subtle grace,
Thou thro' all lands dost glide!
For he who no where hath his place
Doth every where abide;
Thou thro' all lands dost glide!
For he who no where hath his place
Doth every where abide;
Of Antichrist meet harbinger:—
For 'neath each distant sky
He nor in time, nor place can err,
Who deems Christ's coming nigh.
For 'neath each distant sky
He nor in time, nor place can err,
Who deems Christ's coming nigh.
