A seething on the lips, I’ll say no more …

Care but to reign and not for Israel’s calm?

I who am wounded with her every wound?…

Look out upon yon Philistine bold fires

Lapping the night with bloody tongue—look out!

[A commotion is heard within.]

As God has swung the world and hung forever

The infinite in awe, to-morrow night

Not one of them shall burn!
