gs of deliv'rance compass me. Then come, my faithful consort! join with me In this good fight, and my true helper be; Cheer me when sad, advise me when I stray, Let us be each the other's guide and stay; Be your lord's guardian: give joint aid and due, Help him when fall'n, rise, when he helpeth you, That so we may not only one flesh be, But in one spirit and one will agree. FOOTNOTES: [69] The original has _gry_. From _Hermetical Physic_: translated from Henry Nollius (1655). 1. [HORACE. EPIST. I. 1, 14-5.] Where'er my fancy calls, there I go still, Not sworn a slave to any master's will. 2. [INCERTI.] There's need, betwixt his clothes, his bed and board, Of all that Earth and Sea and Air afford. 3. [INCERTI.] With restless cares they waste the night and day, To compass great estates, and get the sway. 4. [JUVENAL. SATIRE XV. 160-164.] Whenever did, I pray, One lion take another's life away?

From Thomas Powell's _Humane Industry_ (1661). 1. [CAMPION. EPIGR. I. 151.] Time's-Teller wrought into a little round, Which count'st the days and nights with watchful sound; How--when once fix'd--with busy wheels dost thou The twice twelve useful hours drive on and show; And where I go, go'st with me without strife, The monitor and ease of fleeting life. 2. [GROTIUS. LIB. EPIGR. II.] The untired strength of never-ceasing motion, A restless rest, a toilless operation, Heaven then had given it, when wise Nature did To frail and solid things
