[Perhaps she thought, religion's law]

Michal despised him in her heart. —vi. 16.

Perhaps she thought, religion's law
Might keep the vulgar herd in awe,
But shall so great a man as he
Forget his royal dignity?
Shall David do so mean a thing,
The soldier, statesman, and the king
Lead up the superstitious crowd,
And play, and leap, and dance—for God!
