goes on addressing the Devil, till he 
has worked himself up, and begins 
thus to rave in rhythm. 
‘ —Then where’s thy ground on 
earth ? receive thy doom, the pit, 
there twist in flames, and there thy 
ike deceive !—Then Cain receive 
thy doom from Abel’s blood, Then 
where is Paraoh and his host? Judge 
then, need Moses fear! Where is 
the Lion fallen! and the pit has oped 
its mouth,—the covering’s dropt;— 
the Pauly has nought to fear—then 
roar no more to shake the earth and 
sea. Where now’s the eagle and 
vultur’d host—thy wings are pluck’d 
on earth, she stands defenceless, the 
fatal net beneath—The Dove now 
has protection; she ranges earth and 
sea, and soars aloft unhurt, unfeared, 
to carry peace to all.—The Ark 
opened now, she brings the olive 
branch,—the floods are past, where’s 
how the giant race ?—Who pressed 
an Lot? ’Pwas thee the proud op- 
pressor! Where art thou now ?— 
Where is thy pride and city ? Know- 
est thou the words, come out! come 
out! let Sodom feel its doom. Where 
now is Lot? At Zoar safe! Where 
is his wife? Is she not salt all ?— 
The writing’s on the wall-—Thou 
tewdly revellest with the bowls of 
God.—Thby kingdom’s past away — 
Now see my Daniel rise—Who cast 
him in the den >—’T was thee—Thbou 
rolledst the stone, thow sealedst his 
doom—the roaring Lion thee ! Thea 
Jet the stone return, the seal be 
broke, and go thou in his stead, 
Where is the image gold and Bel ? 
Where is proud Babel’s builder ? 
Confusion is thy name: confusion is 
thy doom! Let Bel asunder burst! 
the pitch, and tar, and walls of wood 
expose thy make, deceit, and eraft, 
—and pass in flames away. The God 
ef Daniel stands—Dauniel rise up !—

which slew and burt the living stars! 
Whereare thy rays ol fire—thy watery 
floods— behold they are past away— 
The woman’s fears of thee are o’er 
—the wilderness receives her child,
