The Life Of John Dagley PDF Download

Excerpt from The Life of John Dagley: Including His Conversion and Call to the Ministry I've told the truth, 'tis plain, this you will see, 0 may it prove a blessing unto thee; And not to thee alone, but unto thine, \vhen in God's kingdom than in glory shine. Some, perhaps, may charge me with a crime That I have wrote this little book in rhyme; \vell, be it so, it does best suit my taste, Some men also, will like to read it best. The busy bee, you know, does not turn sour When it does light upon a bitter ower; But artfully from bitter takes the sweet, Then ies away another ower to meet The ground on which the ow'ry head now grows, We'll say the thistle, tulip, or the rose; The colour, whether it be black or white The honey sweet, is all the bae's delight. The butter y, now, with its downy wing, It ies about and seeks for no such thing; With painted wing it beats the empty air, No bread, no wine, nor honey does it bear It needs no weapon to defend its store, No one will harm it, it does need no more The figure's plain, now you may understand, There is no honey where no sting's at hand. Whate'er you find amiss I did not it intend, I have not sought to please, I wish not to offend. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
