The secret charms of Memphis, or the deep
Mysterious murmurs of the wise Chaldee.
Miraculous omnipotence hath snatched
Dominion from the evil powers, and gives
Salvation to a fallen world—adore
The sacred name which devils have revered
With fear and trembling! O'er the darkened earth
Behold a day-star springs.

Constantine.

                                        Say on, thy voice
Seems to my burthened heart oracular,
Even at thy words those bleeding ghastly shades
Have melted into air. Blessed be God![1]
A sinner's prayers are heard.

  1. see Errata read 'blessed be thy God.'
