Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

To fruitful strifes and rivalries of peace—
Sweet nature gilded by the gracious gleam
Of letters, dear to Science, dear to Art,

Half-canonized by all that look’d on her,
So gracious was her tact and tenderness :
But my good father thought a king a king ; 25

One glorious flower of many and glorious,
One day found gracious among many days:

The glory of God alighted as a dove;
Blessed, who brought to gracious birth
The sweet-souled Saviour of a man-tormented earth.

So sweetly, or thine eyelids leave so clear
Thy gracious eyes that never made a tear--
Though for their love our tears like blood should flow,

"'For, Lord, thou knowest, O God most wise,
How gracious on earth were his deeds towards me.
Shall this be a small thing in thine eyes,

With these, my son, address thyself to Him,
And seek atonement from a gracious God,
With whom is balm for every wounded heart.

Anoint thy head and wash thy face,
Thy gracious course begin.
To start thee on thy outrunning race

She gracious, He essential Grace,
He was the Fountain, she the rill:

Q.Isab. My gracious lord, I come to bring you
news.
