THE POEM.

:589p. 58

This World's a Forrest, where from day to day,

:590p. 58

Bears, Wolves, and Lions range and seek their prey,

:591p. 58

Amidst them all poor harmless Lambs are fed,

:592p. 58

And by their very Dens in safety led.

:593p. 58

They roar upon us, but are held in Chains:

:594p. 58

Our Shepherd is their Keeper, he maintains

:595p. 58

Our Lot. Why then should we so trembling stand?
