Ah! Blessed Lord, Oh, High Deliverer, forgive this feeble script, 197
All the world I wandered over, seeking still the beacon light,
All things announce a conscious active cause,

Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all, 198, 221
Brave is he when occasion requires, he does not oppress,
Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, they spin not,
Do the stars e'en outnumber the sands of the sea?
Down where the sparkling river shines,

Ego sum principium mundi et finis seculorum,

Every city is alike, each mortal man is vile,
Four letters of the name all names combine,

God gave to man an upright face that he might view the stars,
He knows whether the heaven's sweet sweating kiss appear,
He looked above and sealed the heights with I HU,
He who longs to be rich is like a man who drinks sea-water,
If 'twas a pippin tempted Eve to sin,

In starry promises of old, they trace Him who should bruise,
Laugh and the world laughs with you,

My kingdom for a horse,

My mind to me a kingdom is,

Nature with one immortal throe one Homer bore,

Once did the Graces wish for a shrine that never should perish,
Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide,
One is born a Pagan, another a Jew, a third a Mussulman,
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth,
Seven sounding letters sing the praise of me,

Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish,

So many years it takes to form a man,

CREATION OF The World AccorDING TO THE JAPANESE. The Japanese held that the world was enclosed in an egg before the creation, which floated on the surface of the waters. The history is thus given, "Ceremonies and Religious Customs of Various Nations" (p. 417.).

"There is a pagoda at Micoa consecrated to a hieroglyphic bull, which is placed on a large square altar, and composed of solid gold. His neck is adorned with a very costly collar; but that indeed is not the principal object that commands our attention. The most remarkable thing is the Egg which he pushes with his horns, as he gripes it between his forefeet. This bull is placed on the summit of a rock, and the Egg floats in some water, which is enclosed within the hollow space of it. The Egg represents the Chaos; and what follows is the illustration which the doctors of Japan have given of this hieroglyphic. The whole world at the time of the Chaos was enclosed within this Egg, which swam upon the surface of the waters. The Moon by virtue of her Light and other influences, attracted from the bottom of these waters a terrestrial substance, which was insensibly converted to a rock, and by that means the Egg rested upon it. The bull observing this Egg, broke the shell of it, by goring it with his horns, and so created the world, and by his breath formed the human species. This fable may in some measure be reconciled with truth, by supposing that an ancient tradition had preserved amongst the Japanese some idea of the creation of the world: but that being led into an error, in process of time, by the ambiguous meaning of the name of the bull, which in the Hebrew language is attributed to the Deity, they ascribe the creation of the world to this animal, instead of the Supreme Being."
