Neither are any other redeemed by Christ, effectually called, justified, adopted, sanctified, and saved, but...
Page 20 - Slow melting strains their Queen's approach declare : Where'er she turns, the Graces homage pay. With arms sublime, that float upon the air, In gliding state she wins her easy way: O'er her warm cheek and rising bosom move The bloom of young Desire and purple light of Love.
