His resurrection to life again, His glorious ascension to Heaven's high throne, And, lastly, his future dread
And terrible coming to judge all men — Both the living and dead. . . .

Within the immaculate Virgin's breast, And in the actions bright and excelling
Of all good men, the just and the blest. . .
At Tarah to day, in this fateful hour, I place all heaven with its power,
