The seraph Abdiel, faithful found, / Among the faithless, faithful only he.

Oft he seems to hide his face, / But unexpectedly returns / And to his faithful champion hath in place / Bore witness gloriously.

My fairest, my espoused, my latest found, / Heaven's last best gift, my ever new delight.

Restless thoughts, like a deadly swarm of hornets arm'd, no sooner found alone, but rush upon me thronging.

Faith is the most unexercised muscle known to man.

He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
