LXXX. Numbers, Chap. XXI. from Ver. 4. to 9.
The Brazen Serpent set up.
The Floodborn Prophet guides the sacred Host,
Around their Brother Edom's hostile Coast:
They thro' rough ways, thro' scorching Desarts go,
Huge ragged Rocks above, and Sands below:
Agen of God and Moses they complain,
And tastful Manna, heavenly Food, disdain:
The Lord displeas'd a dreadful Army sent
Of fiery Serpents, who commanded went
Attack'd the Camp, and enter'd every Tent:
Among the rest himself th'Old Serpent came
His Mouth, his Eyes shot Flakes of smoky Flame:
Rais'd on his Folds, a Crown adorn'd his head,
And hissing horrible his scaly Troops he led:
Their Quarry seiz'd they poisnous Vapors breath
Around the Rebels twin'd, an odious Wreath,
And scatter every where Despair and Death:
Those who escape to injur'd Moses fly,
Their Guilt acknowledge, and for Mercy cry:
To angry Heav'n he for the People prays,
Which bids him strait a Brazen Serpent raise
High in Mid-Air, which speedy Ease shou'd give,
And all the wounded Host who look'd shou'd live.
Nor did he this Delay, nor this in vain,
Whoever look, immediate ease obtain:
Their dying Eyes they turn, new Life receive,
Yet scarce themselves the wond'rous Cure believe.

Whoever look, immediate ease obtain:
Their dying Eyes they turn, new Life receive,
Yet scarce themselves the wond'rous Cure believe.
O thou, who on the cursed Tree wert rais'd,
While sinful Men and wond'ring Angels gaz'd:
Whose Death our Life, whose charming Mercy brings
Health and Salvation underneath its Wings:
Thy Merits to our wounded Souls apply,
Those who believe in thee, O Saviour! never die.
