MOUNT MERU.

Of earthly love beseem'd the sanctuaryWhere Kailyal had been wafted, that the SoulOf her dead Mother there might strengthen her,Feeding her with the milk of heavenly lore,And influxes of Heaven imbue her heartWith hope and faith, and holy fortitude,Against the evil day. Here rest awhileIn peace, O Father! mark'd for miseryAbove all sons of men; O Daughter! doom'dFor sufferings and for trials above allOf women; . . yet both favour'd, both belov'dBy all good Powers, here rest a while in peace.
