  This 
  song 
  is 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  the 
  preceding. 
  In 
  the 
  first 
  stanza 
  

   of 
  this 
  supplicating 
  song 
  the 
  newborn 
  male 
  moving 
  yonder 
  is 
  ad- 
  

   dressed 
  and 
  asked 
  to 
  come

  way 
  — 
  that 
  is, 
  toward 
  man, 
  

   for 
  whose 
  benefit 
  he 
  was 
  created. 
  In 
  the 
  second 
  stanza 
  the 
  male 
  

   has 
  grown, 
  has 
  reached 
  maturity, 
  and 
  presents 
  the 
  imposing 
  appear-
