IV.— THE PROTOTYPE.

By Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore

Lo, there, whence love, life, light are pour'd,

Veil'd with impenetrable rays,

Amidst the presence of the Lord

Co-equal Wisdom laughs and plays.

Female and male God made the man;

His image is the whole, not half;

And in our love we dimly scan

The love which is between Himself.
