[Conqueror in one temptation, see]

The devil, taking Him up into an high mountain. —iv. 5.

Conqueror in one temptation, see,
To rob thee of thy victory
The rallying fiend is nigh;
Again he spreads his fatal snares,
By wiles and onsets new prepares
Triumphing saints to try.
Who all thy springs of action knows,
The kingdoms of the earth he shows,
To charm thy dazzled sight.
The glory of the world displays,
And by a momentary blaze
Would hide the' eternal Light.
