Neither to Jacob nor to Jacob’s race.

Think ye, my sons, in this extreme old age

And in this failing breath, that I forget

How on the day when from my father’s door,

In bitterness and ruefulness of heart,

I from my parents set my face, and felt

I never more again should look on theirs,

How on that day I seemed unto myself

Another Adam from his home cast out,

And driven abroad unto a barren land,
