CHRISTOPHER P. CRANCH.
_Stanzas_.
Thought is deeper than all speech;
Feeling deeper than all thought;
Souls to souls can never teach
What unto themselves was taught.

EATON STANNARD BARRETT.
_Woman_.
Not she with trait'rous kiss her Master stung,
Not she denied him with unfaithful tongue;
She, when apostles fled, could danger brave,
Last at his cross, and earliest at his grave.

MISS FANNY STEERS.
_Song_.
The last link is broken
That bound me to thee,
And the words thou hast spoken
Have rendered me free.
RICHARD BAXTER.
1615-1691.
_Love breathing Thanks and Praise_.
I preached as never sure to preach again,
And as a dying man to dying men.

Though this may be play to you,
'Tis death to us.
