0 greatly-fall'n, how humbled is thy state!
\Thy hehrs.iii,w bare, thy courts how dcsolate
Where Juy was Wont the uigbtly dance, to.lead,
Shrieks the lone nat, and hungry vultures feed;
There the deuce dragon finds a place of rest,
And no,ingscreecti-owls build their secret nest.
No more, Bethesda, o'er thy rieiiert springi
Descending Seraphs wave. their healing wings;
Nu inure sweet sounds, at Worn, or eve, declare
that hostrangelie hover Uis the air:
All—all is fled ; and Desolation reigns,
Without a rival, o'erthy ravaged plains.

O dayvidivine, of you may inortal sing,
When God himself was Israel's Guard and King ?
na the eloquenr,e of earthly speech
Fail from a height, which fancy scarce can reach ?
To know Creation's Monarch ever nigh,
A staff in sorrow, and a friend in joy;
To see HeaV'n's glories visibly display'd,
And all it's Straphim in light array'd ;
These were thy rights, 0 Israel, this thy boast,
These the high joys thy disobedience lost. : .

Bear witness, Hermon, thou whose dewy sod • ' ,
Hat felt tile fottisep of a present God; • •
And, Carmel, thou, whose gales, w,itL incense fraught,
The munours of a voice divine haVe caught;
What dreams vStatie o'er the riierY
How swell'd the pious tionsport in his soul !
E'en now, when o'er your long-fotsaken sweets
The Pilgrim lingers, in your loved retreats,

Steal visadnary torms along the rate,
And more than music whispers on the gale.

0 had I pinions, (5) fleet as those, that hear
The dove exulting thro' the realms of air,
Then would I visit every holy shade,
Where Saints have knelt, or PrOphets tuitsing-stray'd;
Bend with a sigh o'er every relic near,
And pay each shrine the tribute of a tear.

Where o'er the waste, in rude disorder thrown,
Neglected he you crumbling heaps ut stone,
0 who (sad change!) the blest abode could tell,
Where God's own glory once vouchsafed to dwell ?
l'es from the ruins Fancy still can raise
Th' imperial structure, bright beneath her rays;
Swift to the view its seat tied wealth restore,
And bid its vanisli'd splendors bearu once more.
Ev'u as 1, gaze, (6) the tkiMen-spiras ascend,.
With graceful sweep the long-row'd arehes beud;
Aspiring shafts the heaving dome sustain,
And all the fabric grows along the
See, as it rises, see the world.cumbole
It's various gilts-to deck the work divine :
Nature no more her secret treasures bides;
The mine uncloses, and the deep-divides.
.'Mild o'er the wave the tav'ring breezes play,
And waft the Tyrian purple.on it's way. -
Herpurest marble rocky Par.'s lends,
tier sweetest odours soft Idume blends;
On Caravel's heights the stately cedar tails,
And Ophir sparkles on the polish'il
See, while the slow-exiianding gates-unclosey -
How bright within the boundless lustre glows ! .. •
Here the tall palm for ever lives in gold,
There sculptur'd flowers their fr. tted leaves unfold;
While ever-huritiug lamps depend froth high,
Countless as stars, that throng the-midnigut sky.
But far within retires ttiti, dread abode,
Jehovah's throne—the Oracle of God;
Two cherub's there. with mimic glories bright;
High o'er the Ark their guardian wings unite.

Thine were these mighty works, by thee design'd,
Ilelov'd of God, and wisest of mankind. •
What (7) to thy. Sire the will of Heav'n denied
To thee it gave, propitious, to provi.te.
Yet, while thy temple in the dust decays,
Lives the full splendor of his sacred lays.
0 skill'd to.strike the many-sounding l)re,
With all a Prophet's—all a Poet's fire;
What bt'east, that does not. kindle 'at thy strain ?
What heart, that melts nor, when thy strings,cumplain ?
Hark, how the notes in mournful cadence sigh,
Soft as the breeze, that only wakes to die.
Changed is their tone; th' impettYlithehieasures sweep,
Like the fierce storm conflicting with the deep.
Now all th' angelic host at once-combine.
Their golden harps in unison with thine.,
•
I•istatic fervors seise the trembling soul,
And Halleluiahs ring from pole to pole.

what (8) feirful Mucus heralded the hour,
That gave Judaea► to a tyrant's power !
As sank the sun, amid the western blage
Terrific vision* burst upon the gaze.
Unearthly spears reflect the setting beam,
Swords save, helms glitter, hostile standards stream;
And thronging chariots, hurrying swiftly by,
Sweep the w►de air, 'till darkness veils the sky.
Nor ceased the portents then : a lurid light
Shot a fierce splendor from the clouds of night ;
It's own sad hue o'er all the temple spread,
And on each fear-struck face a ghastlier paleness shed.

See ! see ! untoucb'd by any human hand,
The temple's Kates— her massy gates—expand
Nu earthly souttis,that within !'hear,
As wate►s bursting un the dtiafeseil ear,
Proclaimirg, as it's awful thunders swell,
" 'The Lord no inure in Israd deign's to dwell :'l7
No mortal foot th' affrighted threshold trod—,
'Tis God's own ruler, the partitig.step of Giudit

Yes, thou art now abandon'd to thy (ale
Vain is - regret, repentance comes -too late. •
Already onward rush thy.angry foes,
Already thy denoted walls enclose!
Death with pleased eye pursues their destined way,
Aud grim Destruction leads them to their prey.

Darker, and. darker still thy doom appears,
And '-',orrow's face a blacker aspect wears.
In vain with equal harid does Justice deal
TO each the stinted, and unjoyous tura! ;
With looks despairing, as they ask for food,
.Breaks one shrill shriek from all the multitude;
No more remains to fan life's feeble fires;
And Hope's last throb just fiutiers,.and expires.
Ev'n the fond
,mother, seized with madness wild,
While in her arriis th' unconscious itifant-smiled,
DrovC to it's heart the,unrelenting steal,
And quencli'd her fury ua accursext,uteal.

Amid the battle's fierce. conflicting-Storro,
Deatti,veils the terrors of his awful hyraitea
There, e'en if Victory smile not, olory's bears
Cast's a clear light ou life's last ebbing stream.
