		<description><![CDATA[The sun ariseth every morn, And soon doth set; The generation newly born Abideth yet; Long history, though, doth forewarn, Its hopes, its dreams, will come to scorn: The earth beholds man come and pass forlorn, Nor doth abet.

		<description><![CDATA[I Mourn, Israel, mourn; Thine anointed prince is slain. All ye tribes of Israel, mourn; How fleeting, how treacherous was his reign! Oh! the bitter death he died: Lifted up in scornful pride, Whelmed by envy’s cruel tide; – Life so vain! Victim of familial crime, Product of a troubled time; Underneath a heap of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Deep in the valley far below A thousand well-worn pathways go To meet at ancient Jericho; And high on the city’s mighty wall There sits a house well-known to all: It is the home of the harlot; There, in the tower’s shade, She sits, all clad in scarlet, Plying her shameless trade. Deep in the [...]]]></description>
