The Poetical Works of John Milton

PREFACE by the Rev
51/60

*Tsephuneca.
4 Come let us cut them off say they, Till they no Nation be That Israels name for ever may Be lost in memory.
5 For they consult *with all their might, *Lev jachdau.
And all as one in mind Themselves against thee they unite And in firm union bind.

20 6 The tents of Edom, and the brood Of scornful Ishmael, Moab, with them of Hagars blood That in the Desart dwell, 7 Gebal and Ammon there conspire, And hateful Amalec, The Philistims, and they of Tyre Whose bounds the sea doth check.
8 With them great Asshur also bands And doth confirm the knot, 30 All these have lent their armed hands To aid the Sons of Lot.
9 Do to them as to Midian bold That wasted all the Coast.
To Sisera, and as is told Thou didst to Jabins hoast, When at the brook of Kishon old They were repulst and slain, 10 At Endor quite cut off, and rowl'd As dung upon the plain.

40 11 As Zeb and Oreb evil sped So let their Princes speed As Zeba, and Zalmunna bled So let their Princes bleed.
12 For they amidst their pride have said By right now shall we seize Gods houses, and will now invade *Their stately Palaces.

*Neoth Elohim bears both.
13 My God, oh make them as a wheel No quiet let them find, 50 Giddy and restless let them reel Like stubble from the wind.
14 As when an aged wood takes fire Which on a sudden straies, The greedy flame runs hier and hier Till all the mountains blaze, 15 So with thy whirlwind them pursue, And with thy tempest chase; 16 *And till they *yield thee honour due, *They seek thy Lord fill with shame their face.

Name.
