 | Israel in Egypt |  |
But Pharaoh, high in pride uplifted now,—
With a long train of lords, and men of war
Accompanied, throughout the city drove
In his gold-flashing chariot; that the eyes
Of all the people might his pomp behold,
And glory in his power. A great feast then
Unto his lords, and priests, and sorcerers,
Gave he: and high his talk was; for he looked
Into the future; and, two clouds o'erpast,
Saw an eternal sunshine waiting him.
With a long train of lords, and men of war
Accompanied, throughout the city drove
In his gold-flashing chariot; that the eyes
Of all the people might his pomp behold,
And glory in his power. A great feast then
Unto his lords, and priests, and sorcerers,
Gave he: and high his talk was; for he looked
Into the future; and, two clouds o'erpast,
Saw an eternal sunshine waiting him.
