Sfcona Scries. 



" Though all that feeds on nether air, 

 Howe'er magnificent or fair. 

 Grows but to perish, and entrust 

 Its ruins to their kindred dust ; 

 Yet by the Almighty's ever-during care 

 Her procreant vigils Nature keeps 

 Amid the unfathomable deeps ; 

 And saves the peopled fields of earth 

 From dread of emptiness or dearth." — Wordsworth : ' Vernal Ode.'
