But life is sweet, though all that makes it sweet Lessen like sound of friends...
Síða 74 - Lord ! we would not advise; But if in thy Providence A tempest should arise To drive the French Fleet hence, And scatter it far and wide, Or sink it in the sea, We should be satisfied, And thine the glory be.
