Thy hills & valleys felt her feet 5 Gently upon their bosoms move : Thy Gates beheld sweet Zion's ways ; Then was a time of joy and love.
And now the time returns again : 9 Our souls exult, & London's towers Recieve the Lamb of God to dwell In England's green & pleasant bowers.

[Especially to the Female]
In Heaven the only Art of Living Is Forgetting & Forgiving ; But if you on Earth Forgive You shall not find where to Live.
Jerusalem, f. 81, where this stanza is engraved in reversed characters in the left margin of a three-quarter-page illustration. Below the two couplets, also written in reversed writing, are the words ' Especially to the Female,' which seem intended as title to the lines above. Russell and Maclagan misread ' especially the Female,' and place between ll. 2 and 3.
