Seite 103 - For they that led us away captive, required of us then a song, and melody in our heaviness : Sing us one of the songs of Sion. 4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?
Seite 4 - With sharpen'd sight pale antiquaries pore, Th' inscription value, but the rust adore : This, the blue varnish, that the green endears, The sacred rust of twice ten hundred years.
