Bersaba

Or, The Love of David. A Poem. Written by Samuel Cobb
 

expand section

On Earth he threw the Sceptre which he bore,
And felt a passion greater than before.
No more Bersaba can his mind delight,
No more her charming Graces can invite.
A Kingly Grief his mournful Breast reclaims,
And streaming Tears quench the forbidden flames.
