Strana 29 - I do not love thee, Doctor Fell, The reason why I cannot tell: But this alone I know full well, I do not love thee, Doctor Fell.
Strana 12 - Thy pow'r doth cut. Wherefore each part Of my hard heart Meets in this frame, To praise thy name. That, if I chance to hold my peace, These stones to praise thee may not cease. O, let thy blessed SACRIFICE be mine, And sanctifie this ALTAR to be Thine ! The Sacrifice.

Strana 23 - , WE are little airy creatures, All of different voice and features ; One of us in glass is set, One of us you'll find in jet. T'other you may see in tin, And the fourth a box within. If the fifth you should pursue, It can never fly from you.
