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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bees work for man, and yet they never bruise Their Master's flower, but leave it having done,  As fair ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3904]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bees work for man, and yet they never bruise Their Master's flower, but leave it having done,  As fair as ever and as fit to use;   So both the flower doth stay and honey run.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dead end can never be a one way street; you can always turn around and take another road. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65145]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dead end can never be a one way street; you can always turn around and take another road.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming off a tough win against Minuteman, it's good to get a win against Swampscott over here.
