[Eldad, they said, and Medad there]

There ran a young man, and told Moses, &c. —xi. 27.

Eldad, they said, and Medad there
Irregularly bold,
By Moses uncommission'd dare
A separate meeting hold!
And still whom none, but Heaven, will own,
Men whom the world decry,
Men authorised by God alone
Presume to prophesy!
