LXXIII. Numbers, Chap. XI. Ver. 31. to 34
Quails Given. The People Plagu'd.
Oh! who the Depths of Man's false Heart can tell,
And base Ingratitude, as deep as Hell!
As fast as God can Pardon, we rebel:
Obnoxious Sinners think his Bolts too slow,
Challenge his Thunder, and prevent the blow.
The stubborn Mutineers, their Fellows slain,
Mercy to them, and Grace, indulg'd in vain,
Against the Hand that gave 'em Life complain:
For Flesh their cry, around the Camp it ran,
From every Tent 'twas heard, and every man:
Ye shall, said God: your raging Wish enjoy,
And with the fatal Grant your selves destroy!
One Day, nor Two, nor Twenty shall suffice,
Since you the Lord, and what he sends despise;
For a full Month of Days you Flesh shall eat,
Till with the lusted Dainties all replete,
You loath, like Manna now, your own desire,
And sated with the Food unbless'd expire.
And base Ingratitude, as deep as Hell!
As fast as God can Pardon, we rebel:
Obnoxious Sinners think his Bolts too slow,
Challenge his Thunder, and prevent the blow.
The stubborn Mutineers, their Fellows slain,
Mercy to them, and Grace, indulg'd in vain,
Against the Hand that gave 'em Life complain:
For Flesh their cry, around the Camp it ran,
From every Tent 'twas heard, and every man:
Ye shall, said God: your raging Wish enjoy,
And with the fatal Grant your selves destroy!
One Day, nor Two, nor Twenty shall suffice,
Since you the Lord, and what he sends despise;
For a full Month of Days you Flesh shall eat,
Till with the lusted Dainties all replete,
You loath, like Manna now, your own desire,
And sated with the Food unbless'd expire.
He said, when strait tempestuous Winds arise,
And fill with Clouds of Quails, the burthen'd Skies:
Tired with their Flight they fall the Camp around,
And cover wide away the Sandy Ground;
Thick as th'unnumber'd Drops, when Auster brings
Warm fruitful Rains upon his Humid Wings,
The People seize the animated Show'r,
And half alive their bleeding Limbs devour.
Nor long behind the thankless Gluttons staid,
Nor was the threatn'd Vengeance long delay'd:
A sudden Plague from Heav'n th'Unjust consumes,
And late Posterity with Horror shows their Tombs.
And fill with Clouds of Quails, the burthen'd Skies:
Tired with their Flight they fall the Camp around,
And cover wide away the Sandy Ground;
Thick as th'unnumber'd Drops, when Auster brings
Warm fruitful Rains upon his Humid Wings,
The People seize the animated Show'r,
And half alive their bleeding Limbs devour.
Nor long behind the thankless Gluttons staid,
Nor was the threatn'd Vengeance long delay'd:
A sudden Plague from Heav'n th'Unjust consumes,
And late Posterity with Horror shows their Tombs.
