But Lincoln now 7 is in the hands of Hcav'n : He comes, full arm'd to do his Master's will ; Nought of the tempest in his soul is seen ; His high commission he has calmly read, And to the post, by Heav'n assign'd, stands firm. The foe, with Christ upon his lip, his laws Had dar'd, and every murmur into silence Lash'd, till all of man by iron hoofs was Trampl'd out. The frown of high Omnipotence Throughout his being now sends rending thrills ; And overwhelming terror all confounds. He quails bef...ore those piercing looks which dart Upon him ; from the throne of Right and Truth, Nought but Omnipotence had sunk him thus. 26 Thus in all ages have the burning crimes Of men become the fiery rods which oft Have through their guilty souls sent dreadful strokes. They their own souls have lacerated, whipp'd And torn — they their own liberties; have stabb'd — They, the fierce fires of their self-made woes Have lighted up ; passions conflicting have Ignited and blown up ; and sceptres, honours, Hopes, and wealth, have been sent whirling into Very nought.
