Israel in Egypt | ||
Through all the land of Egypt did it rage,
Save in the houses of the Israelites,
And in the land of Goshen. Therein went
No flies; nor of the Hebrews, at their tasks,
Touched they one man or woman.
Save in the houses of the Israelites,
And in the land of Goshen. Therein went
No flies; nor of the Hebrews, at their tasks,
Touched they one man or woman.
From deep sleep,
Pharaoh, at length, by his young queen was roused,
The mild-eyed Sirois, “Awake, awake!”
In terror she cried. “Again some hideous thing
Is come upon us. Pharaoh, Pharaoh, wake!”
