MAY 31 
Hoya . Sculpture. 
So stands the statue that enchants the.world, 
So bending tries to veil the matchless boast, 
The mingled beauties of exulting Greece. 
Thompson. 
Has fate o’erwhelmed thee with some sudden blow? 
Let thy tears flow; 
But know when storms are past, the heavens appear 
More pure, more clear: 
And hope, when farthest from their shining rays. 
For brighter days. 
Hast thou found life a cheat, and Worn in vain 
Its iron chain ? 
Has thy soul bent beneath earth’s heavy bond? 
Look thou beyond; 
If life is bitter —there for ever shine 
Hopes more divine.
