And eloquence from ev'ry gesture flows. And o'er the dcfert plenty pours her horn.
Such, and to stern he came, ordain d to bring So, from the throne his influence he theds,
Th'ungrateful inandate to the guilty King: And bids the virtues raise their languid heads:
When, at his dreadful voice, a sudden smart Where'er he govs, attending Truth prevails,

From his own lips condcmn'd; levere decree! See, on his arın the royal eagle stand,

At length the long-expected Prince behold, And thou, O tomb, once more malt wide display The last good King; in ancient days foretold, Thy satiate jaws, and give up all thy prey. H'hen Bethel's altar spcke his future fame, Thou, groaning earth, shalt heave, absurpt inflame, Rent to its baie, at good Josiah's name.
