Strana 9 - And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Strana 90 - O'er thrones and globes elate Sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill. Smit by her sacred frown, The fiend discretion like a vapor sinks ; And e'en the all-dazzling crown Hides his faint rays, and at her bidding shrinks.
