Page 193 - Yet he was kind; or, if severe in aught, The love he bore to learning was in fault; The village all declared how much he knew; 'Twas certain he could write, and cipher too; Lands he could measure, terms and tides presage, And even the story ran that he could gauge...
Page 238 - And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
