charge to keepe My Boy quoth he haste to the Campe and see In what estate my Sonnes your Brothers be Beare them parcht corne and cakes though homely food Yet simple cates may doe poore Souldiers good And to the Generall ten fine Cheeses beare Such in the Campe are not found euery where And if for need t' haue pawn'd ought of esteeme Take money with you and their Pledge redeeme Dauid make haste for I desive to know 'Twixt the two puissant hosts how businesse goe No maruaile Dauid in his heart were glad That he such cause to view the Armies had From his braue thoughts and to himselfe he told The wondrous things that he should there behold The rare Deuices by great Captaines worne The fiue-fald Plumes their Helmets that adorne Armours with stones and curious studs enricht And in what state they their Pauilions pitcht There should he see their marshalling a warre The iron-bound Chariot and the armed Carre As where consisted either armies force Which had aduantage by their foot or horse The seuerall weapons either nation beare The long Sword Bow the Polax and the Speare There the Philistian gallantry and then His Israels brauery answering them agen And heare them tell th' aduentures had bin done As what braue man had greatest honour wonne Dauid bestirres him presently and packes Vp his prouision puts it into sackes And by his Seruant on his Mule doth laye Then towards Sauls Army takes the ready way And his no tediousiourney so contriues That in short time he at the Campe ariues And at his comming instantly bestowes His needfull prouant to the charge of those That tend the Carriage and of them doth learne As neere as he could make them to discerne By his description Ishas Sonnes who led And in the Army where they quartered By whose direction he his Brothers sought And told them what prouision he had brought And to all three their Fathers pleasure show'd And how the Cheeses he would haue bestow'd As they were talking suddainly a noyse Ran through the Army and the generall voyce Was the Philistian the Philistian see 〈◊〉 comes ordain'd our scourge to be Who as his vsed manner was defies The host of Israel and thus loudly cryes Bring downe your Champion that with me dares fight And this our warre shall be decided streight But Israels God for feare drawes backe his hand Nor is there one against me that dare stand Which Dauid hearing his yong bloud doth rise And fire was seene to sparkle from his eyes His spirits begin to startle and his rage Admits no reason that may it asswage No nerue of his but to it selfe doth take A double strength as though his arme could shake The Iron Lance that great Goliah beares And beate his brazen Shield about his eares His strugling thoughts now being set a worke Awake that flame which lately seem'd to lurke In his meeke breast which into passion breakes And to himselfe thus Princely Dauid speakes Despised nation Israel quoth he Where be those valiant men that liu'd in thee What are our soules in lesser moulds now cast Then at the first with time or doe they waste What slaued people but we can stand by And heare this base Philistian Dogge defie God and his people must he stand to boast His strength and valour and in all the hoast No man dare vndertake him might I proue My Manhood on him I should so one remoue The worlds opinion and both hosts should know Hee 's but a Dogge on vs that raileth so And to one standing neere him thus he spake Of this huge Beast what wonder doe ye make What shall be done to that one man that shall Fight with this Gyant and before ye all His pride and horrid blasphemies shall quell And take this shame away from Israel When one that heard him quickly thus replyes He by whose hand this huge Goliah dyes For Wise to him Sauls Daughter shall be giuen One of the goodliest Creatures vnder heauen And yet this surther his reward shall be His Fathers house in Israel shall goe free With this yet Dauid closeth not his eare But of some other likewise doth enquire For his reward the 〈◊〉 that should slay The formers words which like a lesson say None of them thinking this yet 〈◊〉 man Should strike to death the proud 〈◊〉 His Brother Eliab now which ouer-heard Young Dauids questions and was much afeard His ouer-daring spirit might draw him on To worke their shame and his consusion Thinkes with himselfe it greatly him behooues To checke his boldnesse and him thus reprooues Fond Boy quoth he why stand'st thou to enquire After these things thy businesse lyes not here I would not sure but you the Campe should view A Sheepe-Coate Sir would better sute with you Who haue you left after your Flocke to looke Your Scrip no question or your shepheards Crooke Sirra my Father sent you not to vs About the Army to lye loytering thus I thinke'tis time to get you on your way Our Father thinkes that we inforce your stay At Eliabs speeches Dauid somewhat mon'd To heare himselfe thus scornefully reprou'd Brother quoth he few words might haue suffic'd Had you but knowne how lightly they are priz'd Of me these speeches you would haue forborne Vpon some other and haue spent your scorne I come to view the Campe you say 't is so And I will view it better ere I goe Why may not I as well as other men I 'le goe when I shall please and not till then When time may me more liberty alow I may beare Armes perhaps as you doe now Looke to your warfare and what is your owne Good Brother Eliab and let me alone For of my selfe I know how to dispose And thus away resolued Dauid goes And as he went still as he heares the cry After Goliah still more hie and hie His spirit is mounted and his oft demand What his reward should be whose valiant hand Should kill Goliah through the Army went And was the common talke in euery Tent But in the most bred sundry doubts and feares When as they way'd his tendernesse of yeares Vntill his Fame by going getting strength In Sauls Pauilion is cry'd vp at length Who with much speed sent out to haue him sought And to his presence caus'd him to be brought Who with a constant and delightfull cheere Comes to the King and doth to him appeare With such a sprightfull and maiesticke grace As victory were written in his face And being by Saul demanded if 't were he That Israels Champion vndertooke to be He with a meeke smile boldly doth reply I am the man my Soueraigne 't is euen I My Leege quoth he be not at all dismaid Nor let Gods chosen Israel be afraid This mighty Monster in the peoples sight So terrible whose shape doth so affright The multitude I doe no more esteeme Then if a Dwarfe nor he to me doth seeme But such a thing my onely enuy's this That he
