|Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse.| -- 1 Chron. xii.18.
Mechthild of Hellfde, 1277.
tr., Emma Frances Bevan, 1899
'Twixt God and thee but love shall be;
'Twixt earth and thee distrust and fear,
'Twixt sin and thee shall be hate and war;
And hope shall be 'twixt Heaven and thee
Till night is o'er.
