“Ποθος και κακων αρ' ην τις.
και γαρ ο μηδαμα δη φιλον, ην φιλον:
οποτε γε και τον εν χεροιν κατειχον .”
Œd. Col. 1693.

Antigone, that gentle guide
By her blind father's aged side,
Guiding his feeble steps aright,
Like morning star with sable night.
By her blind father's aged side,
Guiding his feeble steps aright,
Like morning star with sable night.
That tragic page, affection's child,
Her Presence lights, serene and mild;
In duteous love she found repose,
And thus spoke sweetly at its close.
Her Presence lights, serene and mild;
In duteous love she found repose,
And thus spoke sweetly at its close.
“Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities. . . .in distresses
for Christ's sake.”
2 Cor. xii 10.
For them who on the steps of time
Shall with the “Man of Sorrows” climb,
Affection's light the cloud shall line,
And paint its edge with hues divine.
Shall with the “Man of Sorrows” climb,
Affection's light the cloud shall line,
And paint its edge with hues divine.
Thus they who walk this vale of woe
With Christ, nor duty's hand let go,
Safe on their Father's breast erewhile
Shall on the past look back, and smile.
With Christ, nor duty's hand let go,
Safe on their Father's breast erewhile
Shall on the past look back, and smile.
