The Sun of Justice may withdraw his beams Awhile from earthly ken, and sit concealed In dark recess pavilioned round with clouds: Yet let not guilt presumptuous rear her crest, Nor virtue droop despondent: soon these clouds, Seeming eclipse, will brighten into day, And in majestic splendour He will rise, With healing and with terror on His wings.
