The Historie of Ivdith in Forme of a Poeme | ||
Hold back (O Lord) the Caldean cressets bright
From these rich Cedar vaults of stately hight.
Preserue these vessels, ornaments of gold,
From sacrilegious hands of neighbours bolde.
And let the blood of beasts before thy face,
Thy Iustice stay, and grant thy seruants grace.
From these rich Cedar vaults of stately hight.
Preserue these vessels, ornaments of gold,
From sacrilegious hands of neighbours bolde.
And let the blood of beasts before thy face,
Thy Iustice stay, and grant thy seruants grace.
