VERSES,


Sggesfed6y The e1sal Of ebitaph in Bury clurcaard
BERNARD BARTON.
WHEN siloam's tower fragments strcwd the ground,
And by its fall spread awe and terror round
Think ye that they on whom the ruin fell,
Were worse than those who lv'd their fate to tell?
Il say unto ye, nay That righteous Con,
Who rules the nations with his awful nod
Without whose knowledge not sparrow dies,
Looks not on such events with human eyes;
The bolt he hufls, by boundIess mercy sped,
Oft strikes the saints but spares the sinners head
And while frai mortals scan effect and cause,
His love plrsues its own unerring laws;
Gives the glad saint his final recompense,
The sinner spares, perchancc for penitencc.
What though the storm might rise the clouds might lower
And mutterng thunders mark the vesper hour;
What though the little suppliant might be taught
a form OF faith, with numerous errors fraught;
Yet He, whose eye s on the heart alone,
The guileless homage of this child might own
And, mid the terrors of stormy even,
Call, with approving smile, her soul TO heaven!
While simple Mary, innocently bold,
With vrtuous diligence her vespers told;
Who knows how many, yotaries of a creed
Which teaches purer faith in word and deed,
With hands uplifted, but with hearts unmov'd,
Proiierd their supplcations unapprov'd2
Nay they might even, when the storm was DER,
Ishorsghtedly this dansels fate deporc
And blindly deprccate her dreadful doom,
Thus carly crown'd with glorious martyrdom.
Not SO, sweet girl, would ], nameess bard,
Thy happy, holy destiny regard;
To me thou seenl'st like one who, early fit
For heaven, and heaven alone, vert calld TO II;
by piety and purity prepaid,
And by thy sacred destiny declard
In Cons allseeing and unerrng eyes,
spotless Lamb, most meet for sacrifice
And, like Eljah's lot in olden time,
own thy end was sudden, but sublime.
The car Of glory, and the steeds of fire,
Bore from Elisha's view his sainted sire:
And unto thee, by halow'd fire from heaven,
| The boon of Immortality was given!
