Or a cottage-window sparkles forth in the last red light of day."

_Example II.--"Fetching Water"--Anonymous_.

"Early on a sunny morning, while the lark was singing sweet,
Came, beyond the ancient farmhouse, sounds of lightly-tripping feet.
'Twas a lowly cottage maiden, going,--why, let young hearts tell,--
With her homely pitcher laden, fetching water from the well."

_Example III.--Deity_.

Alone thou sitst above the everlasting hills
And all immensity of space thy presence fills:
For thou alone art God;--as God thy saints adore thee;
Jehovah is thy name;--they have no gods before thee.--_G. Brown_.

_Example IV.--Impenitence_.

The impenitent sinner whom mercy empowers,
Dishonours that goodness which seeks to restore;
As the sands of the desert are water'd by showers.
Yet barren and fruitless remain as before.--_G. Brown_.

_Example V.--Piety_.

Holy and pure are the pleasures of piety,
Drawn from the fountain of mercy and love;
Endless, exhaustless, exempt from satiety,
Rising unearthly, and soaring above.--_G. Brown_.

_Example VI.--A Simile_.

The bolt that strikes the tow'ring cedar dead,
Oft passes harmless o'er the hazel's head.--_G. Brown_.

_Example VII.--A Simile_.

"Yet to their general's voice they soon obey'd
Innumerable. As when the potent rod
Of Amram's son, in Egypt's evil day,
Wav'd round the coast, up call'd a pitchy cloud
Of locusts, warping on the eastern wind,
That o'er the realm of impious Pharaoh hung
Like night, and darken'd all the land of Nile."--_Milton_.

_Example VIII.--Elegiac Stanza._

Thy name is dear--'tis virtue balm'd in love;
Yet e'en thy name a pensive sadness brings.
Ah! wo the day, our hearts were doom'd to prove,
That fondest love but points affliction's stings!--_G. Brown_.

_Example IX.--Cupid._

Zephyrs, moving bland, and breathing fragrant
With the sweetest odours of the spring,
O'er the winged boy, a thoughtless vagrant,
Slumb'ring in the grove, their perfumes fling.--_G. Brown_.

_Example X.--Divine Power._

When the winds o'er Gennesaret roar'd,
And the billows tremendously rose,
The Saviour but utter'd the word,
They were hush'd to the calmest repose.--_G. Brown_.

_Example XI.--Invitation._

Come from the mount of the leopard, spouse,
