[Why should a living man complain]

Aaron held his peace. —x. 3.

Why should a living man complain
That sinners are struck dead?
Reprieved myself I still remain,
If punish'd in my seed:
Howe'er Thou deal'st with mine, or me,
O stop the murmuring groan;
Or let my only answer be,
Father, Thy will be done!
