These
Scenes in Air, and Night no sooner close,
When more surprizing far and strange arose,
Which his bright Guardian to the Prophet shows.
Joshua the Pontiff shows, but mean and poor,
And far unlike the Character he bore.
While near him, (ah too near!) insulting stood,
Th'Eternal Foe to him and all that's Good:
To whom Great Michael, calmly thus severe,
—The Lord, who his Jerusalem will spare,
The Lord rebuke thee Satan! and thy Rage,
Which dares his sacred Priest with impious Arms engage;
Who late from Babel's cruel Bondage came,
Sav'd like a Brand snatch'd from the crackling Flame;
Then thus pursues—That sordid mean array,
Those misbecoming Vestments take away!
His Body with the purest Linen grac'd,
And a fair Miter on his Brow be plac'd!
—'Tis done—Agen the Watcher silence breaks,
And thus the Son of Josedech bespeaks.

—'Tis done—Agen the Watcher silence breaks,
And thus the Son of Josedech bespeaks.
Thus saith the Lord—If Virtue's shining way,
Thou still wilt tread, and still my Laws obey;
Thou shalt on my Tribunal sit, and thence
Impartial Justice to my Land dispense:
Nor shalt thou only to my Courts repair,
But fix thy blissful Habitation there.
Thou and thy Brethren of Great Aaron's Race,
Who with sweet Incense fill my Holy Place:
How much admir'd! What Wonders will I do,
For my twice-ransom'd People, and for You?
Behold the promis'd BRANCH of Jesse's Stem,
It shoots, it blooms, to wear the Diadem.
My sev'n Archangels who the World survey,
Protect the Good, and my Commands obey;
With watchful Eyes shall o're my House preside,
And Great Zerubbabel its faithful Builder guide.
Thou still wilt tread, and still my Laws obey;
Thou shalt on my Tribunal sit, and thence
Impartial Justice to my Land dispense:
654
But fix thy blissful Habitation there.
Thou and thy Brethren of Great Aaron's Race,
Who with sweet Incense fill my Holy Place:
How much admir'd! What Wonders will I do,
For my twice-ransom'd People, and for You?
Behold the promis'd BRANCH of Jesse's Stem,
It shoots, it blooms, to wear the Diadem.
My sev'n Archangels who the World survey,
Protect the Good, and my Commands obey;
With watchful Eyes shall o're my House preside,
And Great Zerubbabel its faithful Builder guide.
