[Arm'd with authority the man]
But ye have a custom, that I should release, &c.
—xviii. 39.
Arm'd with authority the man
Who for an innocent entreats,
He loses all his efforts vain,
His own high dignity forgets;
He should the clamorous command,
Declare for truth and equity,
The' oppressors to their face withstand,
And set the injured Captive free.
