Book Description
Excerpt from The Rural Sabbath: A Poem, in Four Books; And Other Poems The first creature of God (in the works of the days) was light of the Sense; the last was the light of Reason; and his Sabbath-work ever since is the illumination of his Spirit. Bacon's Essays. Me, poetry (or rather note that aim Feebly and vainly at poetic fame) Employs, shut out from more important views, Where northern vales their lonely streams diffuse. Content if thus sequester'd I may raise A monitor's, though not a poet's praise, And while I touch on things too little known To close life wisely, may not waste my own. From Cowper's Retirement.
