Σελίδα 137 - Hark, how he groans ! while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend ! The temple's veil in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend. 3 "Tis done ! the precious ransom's paid ; " Receive my soul !" he cries ; See where he bows his sacred head! He bows his head and dies ! 4 But soon, he'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine ; O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love like thine ! HYMN 64.

Σελίδα 36 - Can you, then, wonder that in times like these, when bankruptcy, convicted fraud, and imputed felony are found in a station not far beneath that of your Lordships, the lowest, though once most useful portion of the people, should forget their duty in their distresses, and become only less guilty than one of their representatives?

Σελίδα 38 - ... outlaws ? Are these the remedies for a starving and desperate populace ? Will the famished wretch who has braved your bayonets be appalled by your gibbets?
