[Father, to that first-born of Thine]
Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son, &c.
—xxvii. 15.
Father, to that first-born of Thine
Thou hast the blessing given,
The power, and dignity Divine,
The' inheritance of heaven.
O how shall I the younger son
The Elder's right obtain?
I'll put my Brother's raiment on,
And thus the blessing gain.
