nation, in part as follows
"She is not dead-the child of our affection,
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protec-
And Christ himself doth rule.
Not as child shall we again behold her;
For when with raptures wild
In our embraces we again enfo1d her,
She will not be q child;
But fair maiden, in her Fathers mansion,
Clothed with celestial grace:
And beautiful with all the souls expansion
Shall we behold her face"
