And see them made the bond-maid and the slave;
He, whom thou leav'st, the Lord thy God, shall bring
War to thy country on an eagle-wing:
A people strong and dreadful to behold,
Stern to the young, remorseless to the old;
Masters, whose speech thou canst not understand,
By cruel signs shall give the harsh command;
240
Doubtful of life shalt thou by night, by day,
For grief, and dread, and trouble pine away;
