In the same list young Adriels praise record,
Adriel the Academick Neighbour Lord;
Adriel ennobled by a Grandfather,
And Unkle, both those Glorious Sons of War:
Both Generals, and both Exiles with their Lord;
Till with the Royal Wanderer restored,
They lived to see his Coronation Pride;
Then surfeiting on too much Transport dy’d.
O’re Adriels Head these Heroes Spirits shine,
His Soul with so much Loyal Blood fenc’d in;
Such Native Virtues his great Mind adorn,
Whilst under their congenial Influence born.

In this Record let Camries Name appear,
The Great Barzillai’s Fellow Sufferer;
From unknown Hands, of unknown Crimes accus’d,
Till th’hunted Shadow lost, his Chains unloos’d.

Now to the Sweet-tongu’d Amrams praise be just,
Once the State-Advocate, that Wealthy Trust,
Till Flattery the price of dear-bought Gold,
His Innocence for Pallaces unfold,
To Naked Truths more shining Beauties true,
Th’Embroiderd Mantle from his Neck he threw.

Next Hothriel write, Baals watchful Foe, and late
Jerusalems protecting Magistrate;
Who, when false Jurors were to Frenzy Charm’d,
And against Innocence even Tribunals arm’d,
Saw deprav’d Justice ope her Ravenous Jaw,
And timely broke her Canine Teeth of Law.

Amongst th’Asserters of his Countries Cause,
Give the bold Micah his deserv’d Applause,
The Grateful Sanedrims repeated Choice,
Of Two Great Councels the Successive Voice.
Of that old hardy Tribe of Israel borne,
Fear their Disdain, and Flattery their Scorne,
Too proud to truckle, and too Tough to bend.

Of the same Tribe was Hanan, Ithreams Friend,
From that fam’d Sire, the Long Robes Glory, sprung,
In Sanedrims his Countries Pillar long;

51

Long had he fadom’d all the Depths of State;
Could with that strength, that ponderous Sense debate,
As turn’d the Scale of Nations with the weight:
}

Till subtley made by Spightful Honour Great,
Prefer’d to Israels Chief Tribunal Seat,
Made in a higher Orb his Beams dispense,
To hush his Formidable Eloquence.

But Israels numerous Worthies are too long
And Great a Theam for one continued Song.
Yet These by bold flagitious Tongues run down,
Made all Conspirers against Davids Crown.
