CVI. Judges, Chap. XIII. Ver. 2. to 23.
An Angel appears to Manoah and his Wife, and promises them a Son.
Israel
again by Sin themselves debase,
Enslav'd to faithless Capthor's fore-skin'd Race:
To Zorah's Fields a heav'nly Watcher came,
(His dazling Robes laid by, and Wings of Flame;)
Where liv'd a happy Pair with Plenty bless'd,
And only want a Son to crown the rest.
The Angel did the pleasing Tidings bear,
And to the Wife fore-told a joyful Heir:
A Nazarite of God; the tempting Wine,
To him in vain thro' Crystal Walls shou'd shine:
No Razor must his sacred Locks profane,
His Hands must loose his injur'd Nation's Chain.
She hastens home to bring her Lord the News,
So great, he did almost his Faith refuse:
Agen the wondrous Messenger appears,
And all confirm'd attentive Manoah hears;
Who on the Rock an Holocaust prepares
To Israel's God, and joyns his fervent Pray'rs:
The Angel his celestial Robe resumes,
His Sun-like Face, and gay Cherubic Plumes:
Behold his alter'd God-like Presence shine,
His large extended Form confess'd Divine!
High on a fiery Column's wondrous Car,
To Heav'n he mounts, swift as a shooting Star:
Prostrate on Earth the trembling Pair are laid,
When Manoah silence broke, and thus he said:
This dreadful Scene we shall not long survive,
For who can see the Face of God and live?
With fairer Hopes his Consort thus rejoyn'd,
If God displeas'd our speedy Deaths design'd;
Why shou'd the Angel with such Care advise,
And why shou'd Heav'n accept our Sacrifice?
Enslav'd to faithless Capthor's fore-skin'd Race:
To Zorah's Fields a heav'nly Watcher came,
(His dazling Robes laid by, and Wings of Flame;)
Where liv'd a happy Pair with Plenty bless'd,
And only want a Son to crown the rest.

Her, no vain Omens found their wish'd Event,
For e're ten waning Moons their Orbs had spent,
The Angel's Words perform'd, a wondrous Heir is sent.
