William Duke Poems

And truly if they had been mindful of that country from whence they
came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned; but now
...

But yield yourselves unto God as those that are alive from the dead;
and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
...

Oh how I languish to possess,
A safe and permanent abode!
To rest in ...
...

But now the dawn of day appears,
And now the dappled East declares
Ambrosial morn again arrived,
And nature's slumbering powers revived,
...

Tost on the troubled sea of life,
On every side assailed,
Involved in passion's stormy strife,
In irksome suff'rance held.
...

What racking fear, what painful grief
Ensue a pleasant sin!
In vain the world proffers relief
For maladies within.
...
