seven more But with the East-Wind blasted very sore And presently devour'd all the good So Pharaoh he awak't and understood It 't was a dream he quickly gave Command To call the South-sayers of all the Land They may interpret and his Dreams declare For why his spirits sorely troubl'd are So all the Wise-men far and near did hast And came before their Lord the King at last But when the King his dreams to them had told Not one of them that could the same unfold Then to the King the Butler he did say I call to mind a fault in me this day When I in prison and the Baker were Pharaoh in 's Anger caus'd us to be there So there we being troubl'd in our mind We both did dream but little thought to find A man to be indu'd with Wisdom so In all the Prison that our Dream could show Therefore we troubled were and sore dismaid But there an Ebrew servant to us said Why are ye now so sad my Friends to day What is your trouble tell it me I pray So then we told our Dreams to him and he Declar'd the truth as we did after see Upon this news King Pharaoh quickly sent Some of his Servants and with speed they went Now Joseph shall not long in prison stay Come forth of prison Joseph come away 'T is thee alone that must those Dreames unfold 'T is thee alone shalt wear the Chain of Gold At last this Newes they did to Joseph bring Who shav'd Chang'd came before the King So he beheld him and to him did say Canst thou declare a Dream to me I pray I have of late heard great report of thee That thou canst tell a dream what e're it be Then Joseph answer'd Pharaoh thus and said Let not the King be troubled nor dismaid For without me the Lord shall answer Peace To Pharach therefore let thy trouble cease Then Pharach said to Joseph In my dream I by a River stood a pleasant stream And seven Fat Kine did to me appear Out of th' River as I was standing there And in a pleasant Meddow they did feed But after Seven Leane ones did proceed And did devour th' fat ones that were there Yet still more ugly and ill-favour'd were Upon this dream I quickly did awake But fell a sleep again my Rest to take And dream'd the second time before 't was morn And in my dream saw seven Ears of Corn Which sprang and grew upon one stalk so rare No Ears of Corn were ever seen so fair And after them there sprang up seven more But with the East Wind blasted very sore And presently devour'd all the good So I wak't and when I understood It was a dream I quickly did command To send for the Magicians of the Land But none of them could these my Dreams declare They knew not what they meant nor what they are Let not the King said Joseph troubl'd be The Lord will shew the truth thereof to thee He has already what he means to do Thy dreams are one O King and are not two The seven Fat Kine that did first appear They do betoken each of them a Year So do the Ears of Corn that grew so rare Upon one stalk and seem'd to thee so fair The evill kine that after did appear And blasted Ears do shew a Dearth is near This is the thing and thou shalt find 't is true Yea this is that the Lord intends to do For seven years of Plenty there shall be In all thy Land and after thou shalt see A Famine great and Plenty shall be not Throughout all Lands but shall be quite forgot For seven more as thou shalt understand Untill this Famine hath Consum'd the Land And now the cause thy Dream so doubl'd was The Lord hath said it and 't will come to pass Let Pharaoh therefore see to get a man That is of understanding if he can And let him also Officers provide And set them over Egypt Land so wide And see they Carefull be of this Command To gather in the Fifth of all the Land During the seven years of this great Plenty To lay up Corn and let no place be empty At thy Command O King in every City That when the Famine comes thou may'st have pity So with thy food thou shalt thy Country Cherish And save thy people that they may not perish Now Pharaoh's pleas'd and said I witness can In all my Land there is not such a man And Pharaoh said to Joseph For as much As God's great Wisdom now in thee is such There 's none of Understanding now I see In all the Land for Wisdome like to thee Thou shalt be next me none shall near remove thee But in my throne I will be still above thee Behold I set thee over Egypt Land And then he took his Ring from off his hand And gave it Joseph and to him he said In Costly Garments thou shalt be aray'd So in fine Linnen he did him bedeck And put a Chain of Gold about his Neck His Second Chariot Joseph did command The people abrech Cry'd throughout the Land And Pharaoh said to Joseph thou shalt see I Pharaoh am and therefore none but thee Shall dare to stir a foot in all the Land But shall before thee in subjection stand And Joseph Pharaoh call'd another Name And gave to him a Wife of princely fame And he was thirty years of Age when he Departed from the King the Land to see So Joseph went throughout all Egypt Land And gather'd Corn in number as the sand He and his servants gather'd in such store They knew not where to lay up any more And now two sons to Joseph there were Born Before the Dearth and scarsity of Corn. Manasseth Joseph call'd the first by Name Saying the land 's forgot from whence I came He call'd the second Ephraim for said he In my affliction God hath gave him me The seven years of plenty now doth Cease As Joseph said the Famine did increase Over all Lands the Famine sore is spread But in the Land of Egypt there was bread At length the scarcity increas'd amain Among th' Egyptians So they did Complain To Pharaoh But said he to Joseph go Make your addresses to him let him know So then they did and Joseph of his store Did fell to them but still they wanted more All Nations buyes their food at Joseph's hands Because the Famine's grievous in all Lands So grievous that all Nations far and nigh Comes all to Egypt now their food to buy CHAP. V. Being the xlii of Genesis The Argument Now Jacob sendeth speedily His Sons to Egypt food to buy But Joseph takes them all for spies And Simeon there a prisoner lies The rest return opprest in minde For Grief their brother 's left behind NOw Jacob call's his sons and thus he said Chear up your selves and be not you dismaid Why do you now upon each other gaze Why do ye stand so are you in
