cite Awful venaltvj of Death.
By WILLIAM SANDFORD PHILLIPS, GENT.,
LIVERPOOL.

The quality of mercy is not strain'd;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice bless'd;
It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown:
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power;
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this scepter'd sway,
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute of God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's,
When mercy seasons justice.-Shakspeare.
LIVERPOOL:
PRINTED BY D. MARPLES AND CO., LORD-STREET.
1839.
