read the excerpt from "thoughts on the works of providence" by phillis wheatley and complete the sentence that follows.
arise, my soul, on wings enraptur'd, rise
to praise the monarch of the earth and skies,
whose goodness and beneficence appear
as round its centre moves the rolling year,
or when the morning glows with rosy charms,
or the sun slumbers in the ocean's arms:
of light divine be a rich portion lent
to guide my soul, and favour my intent.

"when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
