For him shall endless prayer be made,  And princes throng to crown his head; His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song, And infant-voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name. Blessings abound where'er he reigns; The prisoners leap to lose their chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. Let every creature rise and bring Honors peculiar to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud amen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can see the improvement.

The high infant mortality rate on reservations is due to devastating poverty. Yet the state has not passed any laws in the last several years that would boost any of the health or education programs within the reservation community. As for tribal sovereignty, the only time the state wants to recognize it is when it benefits the state, as in this instance when it allows Senator Napoli to opt out of an intelligent response.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had scarcely gone a short league, when Fortune, that was conducting his affairs from good to better, discovered to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20987]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had scarcely gone a short league, when Fortune, that was conducting his affairs from good to better, discovered to him the road, where he also espied an Inn.
