At what time Jacobs race did leave of Egypt take And Egypts barbrous folk forsake Then, then Our God, Our King elected Jacobs race His temple there, and throne to place The sea beheld and fled: Jordan with swift return To twynned springs his streams did turn The mountains bounded so, as fedd in fruitfull ground The fleeced Rams do frisking bound The hillock capre'old so, as wanton by their damms We capre'ol see the lusty lambs O sea why didst Thou fly? Jordan why swift return? To twynned spring what made thee turn Mountains why bounded ye, as fed in fruitfull ground The fleeced Rams do frisking bound? Hillocks, why capreold ye as wanton with their dams We capreoll see the lusty lambs Nay you and earth with you quake ever at the sight O God Jehovas might Who in the hardest rocks makes standing waters grow And purling springs from flints to flow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EVENING SONG OF THE TYROLESE PEASANTS by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS A DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE SOUL AND BODY by ANDREW MARVELL INDIFFERENCE by EDNA ST.
