A Comment on Luke 2d chapter, 8th verse and on.
'Twas e'er the trembling orient blush'd;
  While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night;
  As each diurnal scene was hush'd,
  A seraph burst upon their sight,
. . . [4 more lines]
[4 verses]

  And warbled a celestial song,
  Of sweet melodious accents join'd.
  Their conscious harps, dispens'd a strain,
. . . [2 more lines and one more verse. Last verse refers to
jubilant choir singing of Redeemer's love.]
