Another brought from heaven a clear and gentle mind, And within the lovely casket the precious gem enshrined ; Till all who knew her wondered, that God should be so good, As to bless with such a spirit a world so cold and rude.
Էջ 9 - SUN. The forefinger and thumb are brought together at the tip so as to form a circle, and held up towards the sun's track. To indicate any particular time of the day, the hand with the sign of the sun is stretched out towards the east horizon, and then gradually elevated, to show the ascent of that luminary, until the hand arrives in a proper direction to indicate the part of the heavens in which the sun will be at the given time.
