NOTES AND TESTIMONLES. 366

Who crushed his foeman as a worm,
Whose step in human hearts fell firm:
Be'mine the better task tofind
A tribute for thy lolly mind,.
Amidit whose gloomy vengeance shone
Some milder virtues all thine own,-
Some gleams of feeling, pure and warm,
Like sunshine on a sky of storm,-
Proof that the Ncgro's heart retains
Some nobleness amidst its chains,
That kindness to the wronged is never
 Without its excellent reward,-
Holy to humankind, and ever
 Acceptable t God.
