      the latter is totally inconsistent with the supposition that they believed them , - ^ -no person can justly be blamed , and much less ought any one to be treated with ridicule and contempt , who feels compelled to refuse his assent to the truth of histories so suspicious , and so surrounded by difficulties and contradictions # J .

      Mourner ! thou seekest Rest . Rise from thy couch , and dry thy tears unblest , A ltd sigh no more for blessings now resigned . Go to the fount of life which ever flows ; There thou may ' st gain oblivion of thy woes , There shall thy spirit own a sweet repose . Seek rest , and thou shalt find .

      Thou seekest Health ; and how ? Let gloom and tears no more thy spirit bow ; Health springs aloft upon the viewless wind : Up to the mountain-top pursue her flight ; Over the fresh turf track her footsteps light ; In hawthorn bowers , ' mid fountains gushing bright , Seek her , and thou shalt find .

      But Hope hath left thee too , 'Mid many griefs and comforts all too few . Think not her angel-presence is confined To earth ; but seek the helps which God hath giv ' n To aid thy feeble sight , and through the heav ' n See where she soars , bright as the star of ev ' n . There seek , and thou shalt find .

      Dost thou seek Peace ? and where ? 'Mong thine own withered hopes ? She is not there , Nor in the depths of thine own darken'd mind . Lay thy heart open to the infants' mirth , Tend the bright hopes of others from their birth , Look round for all that ' s beautiful on earth . Seek Peace , and thou shalt find .

      Seek Peace and Hope and Rest : And as the eagle flutters o ' er her nest , * And bears her young , all trembling , weak and blind , Up to heav ' n-gate on her triumphant wing ;—So shall the Lord thy God thy spirit bring To where eternal suns their radiance fling . Him seek , and thou shalt find , V . * Deut . xxxii . 11 .
