[Death and the grave their baleful power]
Now in the place where He was crucified there, &c.
—xix. 41.
Death and the grave their baleful power,
Their dread commission to devour
In Eden's garden first obtain'd,
And since on all mankind have reign'd:
Disarm'd they in a garden are,
O'ercome, their Conqueror's strength declare,
Who doth to us the victory give,
Who died that all mankind may live.
