 | The Historie of Ivdith in Forme of a Poeme |  |
O Lord (said they) wilt thou still day by day,
The arrowes of thine anger neuer stay?
Wilt thou that Calde conquer vs againe?
Shall Iuda yet the Heathen yoke sustaine?
wilt thou againe that they make euerie towne,
But stonie heapes of houses casten downe?
Againe shall sacrilegious fire deuore,
thy holy house where we do thee adore?
The arrowes of thine anger neuer stay?
Wilt thou that Calde conquer vs againe?
Shall Iuda yet the Heathen yoke sustaine?

But stonie heapes of houses casten downe?
Againe shall sacrilegious fire deuore,
thy holy house where we do thee adore?
