OR,
ALONZO AND MELISSA.
AN AMERICAN TALE,
FOUNDED ON FACT.
FOUNDED ON FACT.
BY I. MITCHELL.
By strong affections driven,
Let no fond wish oppose the choice of Heaven;
For God's high acts unerring wisdom guides,
And boundless love his every choice decides:
Hence all events, and hence all beings right,
Best in their places, to best ends unite;
Hence from deep ills unmeasured good shall flow,
Hence joys unnumber'd spring from every woe.
Let no fond wish oppose the choice of Heaven;
For God's high acts unerring wisdom guides,
And boundless love his every choice decides:
Hence all events, and hence all beings right,
Best in their places, to best ends unite;
Hence from deep ills unmeasured good shall flow,
Hence joys unnumber'd spring from every woe.
Dwight.
