The Sacred Lamp Of Day Now Dipt

Hence A Ship Is Said To Head The Sea, When Her Course Is Opposed To The Setting Or Direction Of The Surges.

Hence A Ship Is Said To Be Tight, When Her Planks Are So Compact And Solid As To Prevent The Entrance Of The Water In Which She Is Immersed: And A Cask Is Called Tight, When The Staves Are So Close That None Of The Liquid Contained Therein Can Issue Through Or Between Them.

The Sacred Lamp Of Day Now Dipt In Western Clouds His Parting Day.

Nor Is It The Least Advantage To Health, Accruing From Such A Way Of Life, That It Expose Those Who Follow It To Fewer Temptations To Vice, Than Persons Who Live In Crowded Society.

With Living Colours Give My Verse To Glow: The Sad Memorial Of A Tale Of Woe!
