ANOTHER.
“The JORDAN have you been to see?”
Cried FOX, when late with shuffling plea,
Poor EDEN stammer’d at excuse,
But why the JORDAN introduce?
What JORDAN too will here agree?
That JORDAN which from spot could free
One man unclean here vain would be:
If yet those powers of wond’rous use
The JORDAN have!
One fitter JORDAN of the three
Would I for EDEN’s meed decree;
With me then open every sluice,
And foaming high with streams profuse,
For EDENS head may all with me
The JORDAN have!
