To win me soon to hell, my female evil Tempteth my better angel from my side, And would corrupt my saint to be a devil, Wooing his purity with her foul pride.
Page 132 - CYHMRODORION, originally founded under Royal patronage in. 1751, was revived in 1873, with the object of bringing into closer contact Welshmen, particularly those resident out of Wales, who are anxious to advance the welfare of their country ; and of enabling them to unite their efforts for that purpose.
Page 264 - Soul,' next appear'd, On whose forehead the brush of the last fox was rear'd ; Whip, cap, boots, and spurs, in a trophy were bound, And here and there follow'd an old straggling hound. Ah ! no more at his voice yonder vales will they trace, Nor the...
Page 175 - Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel : therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die ; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life ; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity ; but his blood will I require...
