"Lesbia wears a robe OF gold,"
Twas spun and wov'n by Morals fin

For still the olden presence haunts it,
Is all the grace which men can see

Hearts OF high resolve surround thee,
Hating, with their fathers hate,
The merciless, who scourged and
bound thee!
She had tryst with evil things:
Hate had sprung from their en-
braces
Hate and ruin-and her kings
Have revelled in the holy places;
Thou hast walked the thorny path,
When thy feet were bruised and
bleeding;
Dared her power, and dared her wrath
She who laughs at human pleading!
But she covers in her lust,
i For dislnay assails her portals
Comes TO clothc her pride in dust,
While thou art ranked with the I'M

Vengeance crouches at her gate,
The Nemesis OF plundered nations.

From dead sleep the world is waking;

Oh, the scene was OF fairly splendor,
The company bright and gay;
The music SO sweet, enhancing,
1t was stealing my senses away.
No wonder loved the world,
That I was its captive now;
And longed to gather the laurels
II To Irvine them on my brow.
zFor pleasure was all around me,
And the wine of life ran high.
Why could not drink OF the measure?
Why could I not share its joy?
So shared in the golden glory,
In its nirtl1, and JOY, and love,
Forgetting that all was tinsel,
With never look above.
All, what did the world do for me
When sickness and sorrow came;
When | lay in darkened chamber
j. And thought OF my folly with shame
I Forgotten lay in the shadow,
i. While the world was just as gay;
d l could hear the music family,
And the dancing over the way.
And knew in that hall OF pleasure
In that brilliant throng so fair,
No one thought OF the lonely captive
Who had often fingered there.
Who had vanished out OF their world
Like ripple over the sea;
For not one OF the merry dancers
Had thought that night for me.
n And my eyes were trimming over
IRA With tears as I turned aside,
= Till they rested upon the image
OF the Savior crucifed.
The Savior had forgotten
In the glory OF worldly pride,
; Who had borne the cross to Calvary
And to ransom sinners, died.
. And those eyes in tender pity
Seemed looking into mine,
And voice seemed to whisper softly:
"Poor child, am not tllinc?'
And softly I said in answer:
