And toss in air thy head all gashed with wounds.

Dav. Ha, say'st thou so? Come on, then; Mark us well.

Thou com'st to me with sword and spear, and shield;

In the dread name of Israel's God, I come;

The living Lord of Hosts, whom thou defi'st;

Yet though no shield I bring; no arms, except

These five smooth stones I gathered from the brook

With such a simple sling as shepherds use;

Yet all exposed, defenceless as I am,

The God I serve shall give thee up a prey
