The priest-like Father reads the sacred page,
How Abram was the Friend of GOD on high;
Or, Moses bade eternal warfare wage,
With. Amalek's ungracious progeny;
Or how the royal Bard did groaning lye,
Beneath the stroke of Heaven's avenging ire;
Or Job's pathetic plaint, and wailing cry;
Or rapt Isaiah's wild, seraphic fire;
Or other Holy Seers that tune the sacred lyre.
