And what came of it we shall quickly see.
Joseph by this time to his brethren got,
And now affliction was to be his lot;
They told him all his dreams would prove a lye,
For in a pit he now should starve and die.

But to his tears and prayers they answered Nay,
And from him first his coat they took away.
}Then into an empty pit they did him throw,
And there left Joseph almost drown'd in woe,
