That would not let the children of Israel, their wives
And their little ones, their flocks and their herds, go
Out into the wilderness forty days
To eat the Pascal.

Speaking of Zachariah Boyd, Granger says, (vol. ii. p. 379.):
"His translation of the Scripture in such uncouth verse as to amount to burlesque, has been often quoted, and the just fame of a benefactor to learning has been obscured by that cloud of miserable rhymes. Candour will smile at the foible, but applaud the man.
"Macure, in his account of Glasgow, p. 223., informs us he lived in the reign of Charles I."
