Strana 166 - Farewell, sun, moon, and stars ; farewell, world and time ; farewell, weak and frail body ! Welcome, eternity ; welcome, angels and saints ; welcome, Saviour of the world; and welcome, God,. the Judge of all!
Strana 15 - No surly porter stands in guilty state, To spurn imploring Famine from the gate; But on he moves to meet his latter end, Angels around befriending Virtue's friend; Sinks to the grave with unperceived decay, While Resignation gently slopes the way; And, all his prospects brightening to the last, His heaven commences ere the world be past.
