An on the fly-leaf of a Bible,--

"Could we with ink the ocean fill,

Were ev'ry stalk on earth a quill,

And were the skies of parchment made,

And ev'ry man a scribe by trade,

To tell the love of God alone

Would drain the ocean dry.

Nor could the scroll contain the whole,

Though stretch'd from sky to sky."
