SONNET.

VIGNETTE FRONTISPIECE.

O! FOR ONE BRIGHT THOUGH MOMENTARY GLANCE;

SUCH AS OF OLD IN PATMOS ISLE WAS GIVEN

TO HIM WHO SAW THE CLOUDS ASUNDER RIVEN;

AND, PASSING ALL THE SPLENDOUR OF ROMANCE,
IN GLORY, AND IN "POMP OF CIRCUMSTANCE:"

THE NEW JERUSALEM COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN ;

OR THE LEAST MEASURE OF THAT MYSTIC LEAVEN,

WHICH BLESS'D OLD BUNYAN'S VISIONARY TRANCE!

BUT VAIN THE PAINTER'S OR THE POET'S SKILL,

THAT HEAVENLY CITY'S GLORY TO DECLARE ;

ALL SUCH CAN FURNISH 18 A VISION FAIR,

AND GORGEOUS; HAVING, AS ITS CENTRE STILL,
HIS CROSS WHO DIED ON CALV'RY'S HOLY HILL;

MAN'S ONLY TITLE TO ADMITTANCE THERE.

BERNARD BARTON.
