Of youth and spirit, shall too blindly trust
Thit ardent thirst and perish in his bloom
Or live degraded. But no one that e'er
With hearty zeal has joined the work. shall leave it,
Till by contentions, and repeated wars
He has fiird Heav'n with sound 'and e'ompassed mai
With ceaseless mareks. Then shali (Ikea
With nun of troth hear equal snag, ti 4 all
Shall follow the belief and own the will
Of th' ignorant and senseless multitude,
Whose heaviest dunce shall he appointed judge.
Alas! what painful, desolating Hood!
Flood, did I say and rightly too, for ne'er
Shall this wild labour cease, and from its pains
The earth he freed, till from her bosom, burst
With mighty rushing, sudden waters wide,
And iu the tight the bravest warriors whelm.
And not unjustly, for their hearts were bent
Oa war alone, and would not even spare
The harmless flocks, but of their inmost parts
Made sacritict , not to the God above,
Bat to their own luxurious appetite.
H w in such stormy times shall fare mankind?
What rest shall earth enjoy Her mightiest sous
Who most from her received, shall- struggle most
To spoil and waste her, and try every art
To conquer and enslave her, till no hand
But His that made, shall yield her aid. Not only
Shall man defile, but ere he seeks the west
The bright sun from on high, more than eelips'd,
Shall let unnatural darkness fall upon her,
Whence suddenly her fret &an she shall lose
With licavlilv light and favour, or at least
Shall grow a desart orh. But ere this flood
Of ruin sweep her rimy, long and plainly
Shall her foundations rock. Thus a taw flours
Shall see her beauty w ither, and so oft
Haempires change, that they: who late pocsess'd heir
yield her to the next who claim her sway;
But then at last the day propitious ,COUWB
To close thislong turmoil : for the great waters
Shall teach contending pou'rs to seek retreat:.
Bat ere they part, wide blazing tyro' the air
A. flame shall rise with burning beat, to dry
• The waters and complete the enterprise.
'Cheat every tempest e'er, no more remains
But, as a just reward, tha,t every kind
. Of good and plenty and celestial Manila
frown the Elect, whilst wicked men shall nigia:3l
Their loss, awl all the mighty work fulfill'd, -
All meet their final and predestind
Such was the will. And 0 how reverend he
Who to the end shall persevere!
