With spiritual food he fed his servants well,

But free from flesh, that made the Jews rebel:

And Moses' laws he held in more account,

For forty days of fasting in the mount.

To speak the rest, (who better are forgot,)

Would tire a well-breathed witness of the plot.

Yet Corah,[266] thou shalt from oblivion pass;

Erect thyself, thou monumental brass,

High as the serpent of thy metal made,

While nations stand secure beneath thy shade!
