[Her spirit she gave up!]
Then fell she down...at his feet, and yielded up, &c.
—v. 10.
Her spirit she gave up!
And thus the righteous Lord,
An evil in its birth to stop,
Makes bare His glittering sword!
Beginning at His house,
He never spares His own,
That all may know our God allows
Impunity to none.

Not rigid wrath extreme,
But wisdom mix'd with love,
Severely kind, a rotten limb
Doth from the rest remove;
Cut off one member is
To keep the body whole:
And well for her if final peace
Surprised her parting soul.
