Las fuerzas llegan, ni el saber del suelo._

Those hillocks of mortality,
Where proudest man is only found
By a small hillock on the ground.

A FATHER'S MISGIVINGS CONCERNING HIS SON'S DESTINATION. PETER
HOPKINS'S GENEROSITY. DANIEL IS SENT ABROAD TO GRADUATE IN MEDICINE.
Heaven is the magazine wherein He puts
Both good and evil; Prayer's the key that shuts
And opens this great treasure: 'tis a key
Whose wards are Faith and Hope and Charity.
Wouldst thou prevent a judgement due to sin?
Turn but the key and thou may'st lock it in.
Or wouldst thou have a blessing fall upon thee?
Open the door, and it will shower on thee!

CONCERNING THE INTEREST WHICH DANIEL THE ELDER TOOK IN THE DUTCH WAR,
AND MORE ESPECIALLY IN THE SIEGE AND PROVIDENTIAL DELIVERY OF LEYDEN.
Glory to Thee in thine omnipotence,
O Lord who art our shield and our defence,
And dost dispense,
As seemeth best to thine unerring will,
(Which passeth mortal sense)
The lot of Victory still;
Edging sometimes with might the sword unjust;
And bowing to the dust,
The rightful cause, that so such seeming ill
May thine appointed purposes fulfil;
Sometimes, (as in this late auspicious hour
For which our hymns we raise,)
Making the wicked feel thy present power;
Glory to thee and praise,
Almighty God, by whom our strength was given!
Glory to Thee, O Lord of Earth and Heaven!
SOUTHEY.

VOYAGE TO ROTTERDAM AND LEYDEN. THE AUTHOR CANNOT TARRY TO DESCRIBE
THAT CITY. WHAT HAPPENED THERE TO DANIEL DOVE.
He took great content, exceeding delight in that his voyage. As who
doth not that shall attempt the like?—For peregrination charms our
senses with such unspeakable and sweet variety, that some count him
unhappy that never travelled, a kind of prisoner, and pity his case
that from his cradle to his old age he beholds the same still; still,
still, the same, the same!
