lamb (v.)
To rise with the lark, and go to bed with the lamb.—
God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.
There is no flock, however watched and tended,
But one dead lamb is there;
There is no fireside, howsoe'er defended,
But has one vacant chair.
Is not this a lamentable thing, that of the skin of an innocent lamb should be made parchment? that parchment, being scribbled o'er, should undo a man?
Since every mortal power of Coleridge
Was frozen at its marvellous source,
The rapt one, of the godlike forehead,
The heaven-eyed creature sleeps in earth:
And Lamb, the frolic and the gentle,
Has vanished from his lonely hearth.
He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter.
The gentle Lady married to the Moor,
And heavenly Una with her milk-white lamb.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid.
