from men of strife Who afterward found grace This Hamans head was exalted And lified up so hie All charged now to bend and bow When as he past them by But Mordicai would not obey No honour he would give To Haggagite an hypocrite So longe as he did live He knew indeed of wicked seed This Haman up was sprong For he no doubt typed one out Whose dayes will not be long Then he abus'd and sore accus'd The Iewes before the King Charging them hie with trechery And so obtayn'd this thing This King then sent incontenent Throughout his Kingdoms all By such a day to take away Their lives and spoyle them all Then Mordicai did fast and pray And rent his cloaths likewise He put a sacke upon his backe Made many bitter cryes With grief he goes doeth this disclose To Hester contenent And gave hir charge with speeches large Where to hir eare she lent For thus sayd he thinke not to be At rest or save thy life Seeke to the King about this thing To take away the strife It may be thought that God hath brought Thy here unto this place Herein to use and save the Iewes In this their wofull case Hester did say to Mordicay Command the Iewes sayd she Three dayes to faste no foode to taste And likewise pray for me She was in feare none might com neare Till he had for them sent Yet live or dye now goe will I And to the Court she went She found time fit the King did sit Upon his Royall seat Which Scepter by did Hester spye On whom his love was great Held Scepter out then gone was doubt On Scepter she tooke hold Though he sat hie spake lovingly His words made Hester bold Now free from feare she drew him neare Who asked hir intent What she did crave or sought to have He would there to consent She pray'd the King with him to bring This Haman to hir feast This feast she made was but a shade To cover hir unrest The night before this King was sore Trouble no rest could take Sore was he try'd on every side The Lord kept him awake For God would not have that forgot Which should preserve the Iewes Put in his mind this way to find His time that night to use He made with speed men for to read Things that recorded were In reading they found Mordicai That lov'd the King so deare And sav'th his life from men of strife And yet had no reward But now the King did minde the thing And that with good regard Went to the feast which then was drest But Haman was not there For he did lurke had other worke A gallos did prepare For Mordicay and would that day Have hanged him thereon The King knew not this wicked plot And sent for him anon The King did than aske of Haman His counsell in a case What he should doe to that man who He minded for to grace Haman him told things manyfold Which feare we need not name His minde was hie though who but I VVhich turned to his shame Then sayd the King performe ech thing On Mordicai the Iew This like a dart in Hamans hart His currage overthrew Then Mordicay he did aray In Kingly cloathing faire On Kings horse he must mounted be Led through the city there With crowne on head a great man led His horse from place to place And all the way this must he say Thus doeth the King him grace And honour so that he may goe Estemed of all men This being done they goe ech one Unto his place againe And so that day came Mordicay Againe to the Kings porte And Haman went told this event His friends in wofull sorte His wife she resh did not refresh Or comfort him at all His words she heard and for reward Did prophesie his fall This King then sent incontenent For Haman to the feast This hearing than he came anan His banket now was drest Whereat the King did aske what thing It was that Hester sought Were it halfe his she should not mis See here what love had wroght For to be short in humble sorte She asked but hir life And of the Iewes which made him muse Loe here begun the strife She did unfold sayd we are sold To be destroyed all But had it beene for servants then My suite I had let fall The King sayd than were is the man That doeth presume so hie Then answ'red she Haman is hee That sits the King so nye The King was wroth stood up went forth But Haman begged grace Of Hester kind but none could find He now had runne his race He sat upon or leaned on The banke where Hester sat The King came in then did begin His heart to rise thereat Who sayd likewise before mine eyes Will he now force the Queene Therewith came in his chamberlin And told what he had seene After the Pallas stood a gallos That was exceeding hie Hamans invent whereon he ment To hang up Mordicai But God the Lord would not aford That it should come to pas But let the King Haman to bring VVho thereon hanged was Queene Hester then begun attaine VVith meeknes and with teares Sought of the King that he would bring The Iewcs out of their feares VVho letters sent incontenent Performed hir request For breake did he that trecherie So that the Iewes had rest House of Haman the King gave than To Hester that same day Tooke Hamans ring a costly thing And gave it Mordicai The
