HOUSE OF MOURNING.

IN THE DAY OF ADVERSITT CONSIDER.

Ecclefiaftes, vii. 14.

Many are the sayings of the Wife,
In ancient and in modern books enroll'd,

Extolling Patience-

But to th' afflicted in his pangs their found

Little prevails; or rather feems a tune

Harsh and of diffonant mood from his complaint,

Unless he feel within

Some fource of confolation from above;

Secret refreshings that repair his ftrength,

And fainting spirits uphold.
