THE LIFE AND CORRESPONDENCE

OF

PHILIP YORKE

EARL OF HARDWICKE

LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR OF
GREAT BRITAIN

by

PHILIP C. YORKE, M.A. Oxon.,
Licencié-ès Lettres of the University of Paris

And a man shall be as an hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. Isaiah xxxii. 2.

O could I flow like thee and make thy stream
My great example, as it is my theme;

Though deep, yet clear; though gentle, yet not dull;
Strong without rage, without o'erflowing full.
