Crimes fhall be punished-Vice shall have dominion over the earth-but Virtue! daughter of Heaven! fhall never be wholly banished!I fee, even to the end of time, a small felect number of my children like unto Seth ; children who fhall merit my bleffing.And lo! a law, purer and more holy than is even the law of nature, fhall be given to man; and the defcendants of Seth fhall behold the Deliverer, who fhall redeem and fave the hu man race. Heard SETH, (Rifes terrified.) ye the rocks refound and shake ? Adam! E vE. (The Angel of Death appears on the top of the rock.) SETH. O my father! (The rock cracks, bursts and crumbles.) A DA M. Judge of the World, I come!Father of Heaven, protect my children !-Pardon me! -I die! THE END |
