That glorious form, that light insufferable,  And that far-beaming blaze majesty, Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity He laid aside, and, here with us to be.    Forsook the courts of everlasting day,  And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.  Say, Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein  Afford a present to the Infant God? Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,  To welcome him to this his new abode,  Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,    Hath took no print of the approaching light,  And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon the eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet! Oh, run! present them with thy humble ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet,    And join thy voice unto the Angel Quire,  From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[London is a roost for every bird. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25454]]></link><description><![CDATA[London is a roost for every bird.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man recover'd of the bite, The dog it was that died. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46867]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man recover'd of the bite, The dog it was that died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want Cellar Roots to be here another 35 years and to still fulfill our basic mission yet adapt to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37809]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want Cellar Roots to be here another 35 years and to still fulfill our basic mission yet adapt to changes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it's better to be thoroughly sure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3889]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it's better to be thoroughly sure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had a great time getting fat and now I'm going to have an even greater time losing weight.
