The Poetical Works of William Lisle Bowles, Vol. 2

Note 66 — PART THIRD.

Reading edition

The passage folded down was the 109th Psalm, commonly called "the imprecating psalm." I extract the most affecting passages:—

"May his days be few." "Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow." "Let there be none to extend mercy." "Let their name be blotted out, because he slayed even the broken in heart."

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
