know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

PSALM I

BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor 5 sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he 10 doeth shall prosper.

PSALM XXIII

THE Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 15 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely good- 20 ness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

When in the sultry glebe I faint,
Or on the thirsty mountains pant,
To fertile vales, and dewy meads,
My weary wandering steps he leads,
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,
Amid the verdant landscape flow.

Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horror overspread,
My stedfast heart shall fear no ill:
For Thou, O Lord, art with me still:
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,

And guide me through the dreadful shade.

Though in a bare and rugged way,
Through devious lonely wilds I stray,
Thy bounty shall my pains beguile;
The barren wilderness shall smile,

With sudden greens, and herbage crown'd,
And streams shall murmur all around.

glebe, plowed or cultivated land; mead, meadow; verdant, green, fresh; stedfast, firm (also written steadfast); crook, a staff, curved at one end, used by shepherds.

This beautiful poem is a paraphrase of the twenty-third psalm. A paraphrase is a restatement of a text or passage which expresses its meaning in another and generally a fuller form. You will read later a paraphrase of another psalm, also by Joseph Addison.

THE SANDS OF DEE

"O MARY, go and call the cattle home,

And call the cattle home,

And call the cattle home,

Across the sands o' Dee!"

The western wind was wild and dark wi' foam,
And all alone went she.

The creeping tide came up along the sand,
And o'er and o'er the sand,

And round and round the sand,

As far as eye could see;

And blinding mist came down and hid the land-
And never home came she.

"Oh, is it weed, or fish, or floating hair-
A tress o' golden hair,

O' drowned maiden's hair,

Above the nets at sea?

Was never salmon yet that shone so fair
Among the stakes on Dee."

They rowed her in across the rolling foam,
The cruel, crawling foam,

The cruel, hungry foam,

To her grave beside the sea;

But still the boatmen hear her call the cattle home,

Grammar. I. You have learned that an exclamatory sentence expresses strong or sudden feeling. We sometimes express strong or sudden feeling with a single word. This forms another part of speech, and is called an interjection. Name the interjections in the following:

Many verbs have three different forms: one to indicate present time, as break; one to show past time, as broke; and one which can be used with have, as have broken. We call these the three principal parts of the verb, because from them the other forms of the verb can be made.
