House of polisht Marble build VVith Jasper floor'd and carved Cedar seil'd Yet shall it ruine like the Moth's fraile cell Or sheds of Reedes which Summers heat repell He shall lye downe neglected as unknowne And when he wakes see nothing of his owne Terrors like swallowing Deluges shall fright Swept from his Bed by Tempests in the Night Like scatter'd Downe by howling Eurus blowne By rapid Hurl-winds from his Mansion throwne God shall transfix him with his winged Dart Though he avoyd him like the flying Hart Men shall pursue with merited disgrace Hiss clap their hands and from his Country chase Chap. 28 There are rich Veines of Gold and silver Mines VVhose Ore the fire in crucibles refines So dig'd up Ir'on is in the furnace blowne And Brasse extracted from the melting Stone Men through the wounded Earth inforce their way And shew the under Shades an unknowne Day While from her bowels they her Treasure teare And to their avarice subject their feare Their they with Subterranean Waters meet And Currents never touch't by humane feet These by their bold endeavors are made dry And from the Industry of Mortals flye The Earth with yellow eares her browes attires Although her Jawes exhale imbosom'd fires Torne Rocks the sparkling Diamond unfold The blushing Ruby and pure graines of Gold Those gloomy vaults no wandring foule descries Nor are they pierced by the Vultures eyes Swift Tygres which in pathlesse Deserts stray Nor solitary Lyons tread that way Their restlesse Labors cleave the living Stone Cloud-touching Mountaines by their Roots ore'throwne New streames through wondering Rocks their tract pursue VVhile they the Magazines of Nature view VVho swelling Floods with narrow bounds inclose And what in Darknesse lurkt to Light expose But where above the Earth or under ground Can VVisedome by the search of Man be found Her worth his estimation farre excels Conceal'd from sence nor with the living dwels The Seas reply shee lies not in our Deeps Nor in our floods her radiant tresses steeps Nor are her rare endowments to be sold For silver Hils or Rivers pav'd with gold Nor for the glittering sand by Ophir showne The blew-ey'd Saphir or rich Onix stone For Rocks of Christall from the Ocean brought Nor Jewels by the rarest workeman wrought Can blazing Carbuncles with her compare Or groves of Corrall hardned by the Aire The Tophas sent from scorched Meroë Or Pearles presented by the Indian Sea VVhence comes shee from what undiscover'd Land Or where doth her concealed palace stand Since O invisible to mortall Eye Or winged Travellers that trace the skie Death and Destruction say her fame alone Hath reach'd our Eares but to our Eyes unknowne God onely understands her sacred wayes The Temple knowes where shee her Light displayes For he at once the Orbe of Earth beholds And all that Heav'ns blew Canopie infolds To measure out the strugling Winds by weight That else the world would teare in their debate And bridle the wilds Floods least they their bound Againe should passe and all the Earth surrown'd When he in Clouds the dropping waters hung And through their roaring jawes his Lightning flung Then he beheld her face her light displaid Prepar'd her paths and thus to Mortals said The feare of God is wisedome and to flye From Evill is of vertues the most high Chap. 29 Iob paus'd forthwith these words his sigh's pursue O that those happy Dayes would now renew When God beneath his shield my safety plac'd When his cleare lamp a sacred Splendor cast About my Browes by whose directing light I trod securely through the Shades of Night That now I had what I in youth possest VVhen he my Mansion with his presence blest VVhen those who from my veines deriv'd their blood Like springing Lawrels round about me stood VVhen Butter washt my Steps when Streames of oyle Gusht from the Rocks and Plenty free from toyle VVhen through the gazing Streets I past in State To my Tribunall in the Cities Gate The blushing Youth their vertuous awe disclose And from their Seats the reverend Elders rose Attentive Princes such a silence kept As if their Soules had in their Bodies slept Th'astonish't Nobles stood like men that were Depriv'd of all their Sences but the eare All eares that heard my equall Justice prais'd All eyes that saw their Lids with wonder rais'd I from Oppressors did the Poore defend The Fatherlesse and such as had no friend Those sav'd whom wicked Power sought to destroy And made the widowes heart to spring with joy I put on Truth shee cloth'd me with renowne My Justice was to me a precious Crowne Eyes lent I to the blind feet to the Lame A Father to the Comfortlesse became I search't what from my knowledge was conceal'd And clouded Truth by her owne light reveal'd Oft with my Scepter brake the Lyons jawes And snatcht the prey out of his armed pawes Then said my Dayes shall as the Sand increase And I in my owne nest shall dye in peace My Root was by the living water spred And Night her dew upon my Branches shed My Glories Crescent to a Circle grew And I my Bow with doubled vigor drew When I but spake they hung upon my looke And as an Oracle my Counsell tooke None spake but I each his owne Judgement feares My words like honey dropt into their eares Which readily with joy they entertaine As Yawning Earth devoures the latter Raine Although I smil'd none would my thoughts suspect Nor on my Mirth a frowning looke reflect But trod the path which I their Chiefe propos'd I King-like sate with armed troopes inclos'd Gave timely Comforts to the Soule that mourn'd Rais'd from the Dust and teares to Laughter turn'd Chap. 30 O bitter change now Boyes my grones deride The wretched object of their scorne and pride Whose Fathers I unworthy held to keepe With lesse contemned Dogs my Flocks of sheepe How could their youth to my advantage turne Or elder age with weakning vices worne Who pale with famine to the Desert fled On roots of Juniper and Mallowes fed Whom Men from their Societie exclude Detested and like Theeves with cryes pursu'd Conceal'd in hollow Rocks in gloomy Caves And Cliffes deepe vaulted by the fretting waves Among the Bushes they like Asses braide And in the Brakes their Conventicles made The Sonnes of Idiots of ignoble Birth Contaminate and viler then the Earth Yet now am I obnoxious to their wrongs A By-word and the Subject of their song's Who exercise their tongues in my disgrace Abhorre my paths and spit upon my face They ever since the inrag'd omnipotent Dissolv'd my Sinewes and my Bowunbent Like head-strong Horses twixt their teeth have tane The masterd Bridle and contemn'd the reyne Lo Boyes against me rise and strow my way With Snares then watch the cruell traps they lay Who now my path's pervert their hate extend To multiply his woes that hath no friend As Seas against the Shores strong Rampires stretch Their battering waves and force a
