1T Is TOLD ME MUST DIE.


Richard Langhorn, a lawyer, was unjustly
condemned and put to dsath as a traitor, iu the
reign Of Charles II. Just before his execution
he wrote the following exquisite and remarks-
bic poem. In tho Language Of the Quarterly
Revie,e, "a poem it must be called, though it
Is not in verse. Perhaps there is not in this, or
any other language, a poem which appears TO
have flowed so entirely from the heart"

Would He have laidd down his life for theel
Would He have called thee with so much love-,
And illuminated thee with the light Of the sprit2
Would he have given thee His cross,
And given thee shoulders to bear it with patience!
1t is told me must die:
Oh, happy newsl
Come on, my dearest soul,
Behold, thy Jesus calls thee:
He prayed for thee upon the cross;
There he bowed down His head to kiss thee;
There He opened His heart TO give thee entrance;

Permit him to have place at thy feast
And forgive all those who are guilty of his death.
