Page 19 - Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

Page 78 - How manifold are thy works, O Lord ! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy possessions.
Page 190 - Well do I know thee by thy trusty yew, Cheerless, unsocial plant! that loves to dwell Midst skulls and coffins, epitaphs and worms; Where light-heeled ghosts and visionary shades, Beneath the wan cold moon (as fame reports) Embodied thick, perform their mystic rounds.
