Digitized by Google BZYOSTULATIOII. 79 Tbsyt and they ooly^ amongst all manlundf Received the transcript of th* Eternal Mind ; Were trusted with his own engraren law^i And constituted guardians of his cause i Theirs were the prophets, theirs the priestly calif And theirs, by birth, the Sariour of us alL In T^n the nations, that had seen them rise With fierce and envious, yet admiring eyes.
Had sought to crush them, guarded as they were By power dirine, and skill that coidd not err.
Had they... maintained allegiance firm and sure» And kept the faith immaculate and pure, "^en the proud eagles pf all-conqu«ring Rome Had found one city not to be overcome $ And the twelve standards of the tribes unfurl'd Had bid defiance to the warring world.
But grace, abused, brings forth the foulest deedsy As richest soil the most luxuriant weeds..
Cur'd of the golden calves, their fathers' sin, They set up self, that idol god within ; View'd a Deliverer with disdain and hate.
Who left them still a tributary state 5 Seiz'd fast his hand, held out to set them free From a worse yoke, and nail'd it to the tree : There was the consummation and the crown, The flower of Israel's infamy full blown : Thence date their sad declension and their hll ; Their woes, not yet repealed — ^thence date them all J Thus fell the best instructed in her day.
