Synopsis
Excerpt from State Trials: Specimen of a New Edition
The western towers, embattled high in air, Heaved o'er their bells resounding chimes to prayer; And up the steps a reverent people marched, Through portals caverned deep and lowly arched, To aisles, where shafted lights their tracery wove, And pillared vaults embowered a shadowy grove. Crowds sought the hallowed water, signed their brows, And gathering eastward knelt to murmur vows; Which dews descended as from Heaven to meet, Dews shed by hyssops round the altar's feet.
On that high altar wrought from glittering mines, Illuminated books, and graven shrines, The silver pix, and chaliced gold, were laid; Tall tapers gleamed like jewels: Priests arrayed In white and scarlet bowed at entrance prone: The Lord Archbishop mitred graced his throne His hierarchs around him filed their stalls: And mass was sacrificed in great Saint Paul's.
Come, let us lift for mercy heart and voice To God, my God, who maketh youth rejoice. Here is our refuge when the proud contemn. Oh, shield me, and discern my cause from them! Shed from thy heavenly mountain light and truth! I come to God, who maketh glad my youth.
