Page 349 - And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

Page 118 - My other poems, I said, were incorrect, being but juvenile pieces, and of little consequence, even in my own opinion.
