LXI. Exodus, Chap. XV. from Ver. 22. to the End.
The Israelites journey to Marah. They murmur. The Water healed. They arrive at Elim.
The Seas, and Sanguine Shore they now forsake,
And thro' th'untroden Wild their Journey take:
Three Days they measure that unhappy Land,
O'r Rocks of Salt, and burning Hills of Sand:
At Marah, Water found, but found in vain,
It mocks their Thirst, and but augments their Pain.
Bitter and Salt,—The murm'ring Host complain;
Forget their Saviour who, from Egypt brought,
And all the Signs in Zoan's Fields he wrought:
(But every Age produces Murm'rers too,
Israel we blame, yet Israel's Crimes pursue.)
To Heav'n their Leader flies, which sends Relief,
Heav'n which can find a Cure for ev'ry Grief,
A Tree of wondrous Use, and Pow'r reveals,
Whose Virtue soon the brackish Waters heals.
And thro' th'untroden Wild their Journey take:
Three Days they measure that unhappy Land,
O'r Rocks of Salt, and burning Hills of Sand:
At Marah, Water found, but found in vain,
It mocks their Thirst, and but augments their Pain.
Bitter and Salt,—The murm'ring Host complain;
Forget their Saviour who, from Egypt brought,
And all the Signs in Zoan's Fields he wrought:

To Heav'n their Leader flies, which sends Relief,
Heav'n which can find a Cure for ev'ry Grief,
A Tree of wondrous Use, and Pow'r reveals,
Whose Virtue soon the brackish Waters heals.
Journying from thence, at Elim they arrive,
Scarce Canaan's self cou'd more of Pleasure give:
For every Tribe a Crystal Spring they found,
Whose limpid Waters fall with murm'ring Sound,
And lull their Cares; the Host encamps around,
Beneath a Palm-Tree Grove's refreshing Shade,
No Sun can reach 'em there, no Storms invade.

No Sun can reach 'em there, no Storms invade.
O Happy who for heavenly Canaan press
Tho' wand'ring thro' a weary Wilderness,
When some reviving Drops kind Angels bring
From Loves and Pleasures unexhausted Spring;
Whose Streams from God's high Throne incessant flow,
On whose green Banks in comely Order grow
Fair Trees, whose gen'rous Fruit that charms the Eyes,
Who wou'd not die to taste? who tasts it never dies.
