To chasten him for that his grievous Fall:

His own Son Ammon, using crafty wiles,

His Daughter Thamar wickedly defiles:

His second Son, more beautiful than good,

His hands embreweth in his Brother's blood:

And by and by, aspiring to the Crown,

He strives to pull his gentle Father down;

With hellish rage, him fiercely persecuting,

And brutishly his Concubines polluting.

Read whoso list, and ponder what he reads,
