80.
[Acquiring his first spot of ground]
The field and the cave . . . were made sure, &c.
—xxiii. 20.
Acquiring his first spot of ground,
A burying-place the patriarch found:
May I, like him, a stranger rove,
Heir of the promised land above;
The settlement on earth I crave,
The sole possession is—a grave!
