GOSPEL SONNETS.

PART I.

THE BELIEVER'S ESPOUSALS.

A POEM upon Isa. liv. 5.-Thy Maker is thy Husband.

PREFACE.

HARK, dying mortal, if the Sonnet prove,
A song of living and immortal love,

'Tis then thy grand concern the theme to know,
If life and immortality be so.

Are eyes to read, or ears to hear a trust?

Shall both in death be cramm'd anon with dust?
Then trifle not to please thine ear and eye,
But read thou, hear thou, for eternity.
Pursue not shadows wing'd, but be thy chase,
The God of glory on the field of grace:
The mighty hunter's name is lost and vain,
That runs not this substantial prize to gain.
These humble lines assume no high pretence,
To please thy fancy, or allure thy sense;
But aim, if everlasting life's thy chase,

To clear thy mind, and warm thy heart thro' grace.
A marriage so mysterious I proclaim,
Betwixt two parties of such diff'rent fame,

That human tongues may blush their names to tell,
To wit, the Prince of Heav'n, the heir of hell!
But, on so vast a subject who can find
Words suiting the conceptions of his mind?
Or, if our language with our thoughts could vie,
What mortal thought can raise itself so high?
