XXXVIII. Genesis, Chap. XLIII. XLIV.
Their num'rous Houshold soon exhaust their store
Lean Want appears, and makes 'em wish for more
Yet dare they not to Mizraims Fields repair,
Their Brother left in Chains an Hostage there,
Unless the Youngest now the Journy share:
Their mournful Father yields a forc'd assent,
Away his Benjamin, his Darling went:
At length arriv'd at Joseph's Princely Seat
He mildly with 'em thus begins to treat.
Lean Want appears, and makes 'em wish for more
Yet dare they not to Mizraims Fields repair,
Their Brother left in Chains an Hostage there,
Unless the Youngest now the Journy share:
Their mournful Father yields a forc'd assent,
Away his Benjamin, his Darling went:
At length arriv'd at Joseph's Princely Seat
He mildly with 'em thus begins to treat.
And does th'Old Sire of whom ye spake, still share
The cheerful Light, and tast th'Ætherial Air?
He does, Great Sir! tho' Old and full of Days,
The Ten reply, and for your Welfare prays.
Agen he views 'em with attentive Eyes,
And Benjamin among the Crowd espies;
With hast he flees to his retir'd Alcove,
And vents in Show'rs of Tears, fraternal Love,
Returning soon, he treats his Hebrew Friends,
And loaden back with Corn, rejoicing sends:
But short their Joy, and but in vain their Hast,
The Steward had a massy Goblet plac'd,
So Joseph will'd, within the Youngers Sack;
He soon o'rtakes, and brings 'em trembling back:
The fatal Bowl with Benjamin was found
And he secur'd; when prostrate on the Ground
Thus Judah pleads—on me, on me, let all
The Guilt and Punishment unpity'd fall:
But, Oh! this unadverting Youth forgive!
Let him, or rather let his Father live!
If him he miss, he dies, nor dar'd we come
Till I his Surety to return him home:
Here rather let me fall, if fall I must,
Than bring my aged Sire with Sorrow to the Dust.
The cheerful Light, and tast th'Ætherial Air?
He does, Great Sir! tho' Old and full of Days,
The Ten reply, and for your Welfare prays.
Agen he views 'em with attentive Eyes,
And Benjamin among the Crowd espies;
With hast he flees to his retir'd Alcove,
And vents in Show'rs of Tears, fraternal Love,
Returning soon, he treats his Hebrew Friends,
And loaden back with Corn, rejoicing sends:
But short their Joy, and but in vain their Hast,
The Steward had a massy Goblet plac'd,
So Joseph will'd, within the Youngers Sack;
He soon o'rtakes, and brings 'em trembling back:
The fatal Bowl with Benjamin was found
And he secur'd; when prostrate on the Ground
Thus Judah pleads—on me, on me, let all
The Guilt and Punishment unpity'd fall:
But, Oh! this unadverting Youth forgive!
Let him, or rather let his Father live!
If him he miss, he dies, nor dar'd we come
Till I his Surety to return him home:
Here rather let me fall, if fall I must,
Than bring my aged Sire with Sorrow to the Dust.
