Their falling showers, when parch'd and cleaving earth

Implores their charity. Wilt hunt the prey

With the stern forest-king? or dare invade

The darkened lair where his young lions couch

Ravenous with hunger?

Who the ravens feeds

When from the parent's nest hurl'd out, they cry

And all forsaken, ask their meat from God?

Know'st thou the time when the wild goats endure

The mother-sorrow? how their offspring grow
