Excerpt from George the Third, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel Our lives, discolour'd with our present woes, May still grow white and smile with happier hours. So the pure limpid stream, when foul With stains Of rushing torrents and descending rains, Works itself clear, and as it runs, refines, Till by degrees the floating mirror shines; Reflects each flow'r that on the border grows', And a new heav'n in its fair bosom shows.
