A VERSION OF DEBORAH'S SONG.
Judges, Chap. V.

LET Israel now the votive trophies
raise,
Begin ye tribes, your great avenger’s praise
Rehearse the glories of th’ Almighty Lord:
When willing nations did their aid afford.
From hostile Edom when Jehovah came,
$Midst thunders marching, and the light-
’nings flame;
Trembled the Earth, dropp'd Heaven) as
he rode,
And clouds dissolving, own’d th’ approach-
ing God :
The mountains melted from before his sight
Even Sinai shun’d th’ intolerable light.
In Shamgar’s once, and since in duels
day’s Ee
All unfrequented were the public wags 3 ?
Along bye-paths the weary trav'ller stray’'d,
Of rage; of rapine, and of foes. afraid 5
The villagers theh ceas’d. (th! affrighted

plain)
“Through Israel cas ’d, dil by divine com-
nang,
1 tose; your Deb’rah rose; to save the land:
What time your hands to ido} shrines were
rais'd;
And incense Strew’d on heathen altars
blaz’d.
Philisting powers your cities then possess’d
Sat in your gates, and Jacob’s sons oppres’d
Disarm’d, you mourn’d the haughty victor” s
sway
Spoil’d of your spears, your bucklers tori},
away-
Those patriots fire my soul, who freely
join'd
T’advance the glorious change; by Heaven
design’d.
Praise ye, our God, ye nobles; who preside
O’er Israel's race, and on white asses ride.
Yel udges too, the great delivirer sing,
And ye who journey grateful praises bring!
Secure from archers and from foes annoy,
The swains once more, their native springs
enjoy;
‘These shall his acts rehearse, and bless the
Lord
For peace and justice in our gates restor’d.
Wake, Deb’rah wake! the rapt’rous
thoughts inspire,
Rise, Barak! rise, and strike the sounding
lyre :
Begin the triumph, utter loud the song!
And captive lead captivity along.
Who firmly stood, shall ever be renown’d;
Me, me, o’er hosté has Heaven with con-
: quests crown’d.
rom Benjamin, the earliest succours came;
Him Ephraim follow’d, emulous of fame,
Theri Macliir march’d Lis captains from
afar,
And Zeb’lun sent his penmen to the War.
Thy princes; Issachar, and numi’rous bands
Eager repair where Deborah commands,
~ These Barak join’d; who leaving Tabor’s
height;
In valés, on foot; maintain’d th* unequal
fight.
Why didst thou, Reuben; bleating flocks
prefer,
"fo martial clangors, and the sound of war ?
In these achievements he refus’d a part,
And his divisions griev’d his brethren’s
heart;
Nor Gilead shar'd the triumph of the day,
He chose, o’cr Jordan in his tents to stay.
Why didst thou, Dan, on board thy ships
remain ?
“Or why did Asher shun the embatilid plain,
Bhelter'd in crecksy along the winding shore
He, lost to glory, shines in arms hotaore.
Naph’li and Zeb’lun could no force dismay,
They, dauntless, dar’d the dangers of the’
day
From distant Taanach, and Meggido’ s
stream,
Retiown’d in arms, the kings of Canaan
came;
Nor gain nor spoils these brave &
fought,
Gold they disdain’d; and but
sought, .
The Heavens averse, their enmity declar’d,
And constellations against Sisira warrd,
What crowds of slain did Kisbon sweep
away,
What heaps his waves to distant seas con-

Thou, O my soul! (for

Hast nobly grivmphed ofer a mighty train;
While their proud steeds with frequent
prancings bound,’
Their hoofs are broken on the stony g ground.
