256 E. B. Reed, 



To Zions mount thou didst them bring 

 Didst plant them in its firtil soyle 



The place wher thou delightst in 

 A sanctuary freed from toyle 



[p. 395] Raigne Lord for euer vn-opposd 



For Pharoa's Horse & Men are drownd 

 Him & his force hath sea inclosd 



Whilst Israel marches on dr}' grownd 



Miriam the Prophetiss a Timbrel takes 

 Wher in their Circulinge-dances round 



The Virgin-Traine such Musick makes 

 As th' Hills about w'^ Ecchoes sound 



Then Miriam answered them & sunge 

 The Lord triumphd in Glory hath 



Proud Pharoah into th' sea has flunge 

 W*^'^ Horse & Rider in his wrath 



[p. 418] Dauids Lamentation for Saule & Jonathan. 



2 Sam : 1 



Israel has lost her ornement 



Alas for itt lement 

 How are her Mighty, falne & laine 



& on Mount Gibea slaine 

 O let itt nott in Gath be knowne 

 Or told in streets of Askelon 



O lett nott Lord our ancient Foes 



Joying Deride our woes 

 Least daughter of th' vncircomcis'd 

 Triumph o're vs dispis'd 

 [p. 419] Noe more lett fruitfull showres distill 

 Or dewes on Gibeas direfull Hill 



Nor e'er may any thither bringe 



More a Heaue-Offringe 

 Ther th' Mighty fell, Saule lost his sheild 



In this shamfull feild 

 On him regardless they did treade 

 As if noe oyle had touch'd his head
