V.
When surly winter with his blasts appear,
The most inclement season of the year,
The chilling frosts and icy snows descend;
'Gainst them the flow'rs cannot themselves defend;
And blust'ring Boreas thunders o'er the plain,
And robs the fields of all their vernal green:
The most inclement season of the year,
The chilling frosts and icy snows descend;
'Gainst them the flow'rs cannot themselves defend;
And blust'ring Boreas thunders o'er the plain,
And robs the fields of all their vernal green:
So, when the wicked o'er the godly reigns,
They're made to languish and submit to chains.
They're made to languish and submit to chains.
