How solemn is the Pause at the 1st Syllable of the 3d Line! _But_--

And the Cæsure upon the Monosyllable _Us_ that follows immediately,

"_But_--that from _us_--

And the same Energy is plainly perceiv'd at the End of the 6th Line,
where the Cæsure is plac'd upon the Monosyllable _yet_,

"_Yet_--this will Prayer, _&c._

But when we come to that Line,

"_Kneel'd_; and before Him humbled all my Heart,

such is the Force of the Word _kneel'd_ in that Situation, that we
actually see _Adam_ upon his Knees before the offended Deity; and by
the Conclusion of this Paragraph,--_Bending his Ear_, Infinite
Goodness is visibly as it were represented to our Eyes as inclining to
hearken to the Prayers of his penitent Creature.
