The verfion of Dr. W. J. Irons may be re- garded as the accepted verfion of the prefent day in Great Britain, ...and is the one felecSled by the Hymnal Noted. It is in the double rhyme and meafure of the original, and parts of it bear a ftriking refemblance to the American verfion of General Dix. But a much more curious coincidence in conception, with an abfolute iden- tity of language in many parts, exifts in the un- publifhed verfion of an accompliflied tranflator (Mr. A. Peries, of Philadelphia), wherein feveral ftanzas differ but little from thofe of General Dix. The eleventh ftands as follows : ** Righteous Judge of retribution, Grant us tinners abrolution Ere the day of diflblution !*• VIII.
