[The emblem had in trembling haste]

Jesus...went forth with His disciples over the, &c. —xviii. 1.

The emblem had in trembling haste
The brook with his companions pass'd,
Mournful, disconsolate, dismay'd,
When David from his rebel fled:

To meet His fierce ungrateful foes,
The life of Absalom to buy,
And for a world of rebels die.
