YeIsa. xlv. 8. Heav'ns! from high the dewy nectar pour,And in soft silence shed the kindly show'r!TheChap. xxv. 4. sick and weak the healing plant shall aid,From storms a shelter, and from heat a shade.All crimes shall cease, and ancient fraud shall fail;ReturningChap. ix. 7. Justice lift aloft her scale;Peace o'er the world her olive wand extend,And white-rob'd innocence from heav'n descend.0
