Eleg. 3.
Compast around with Seas of briny teares,
Iudah laments, distraught with double feares;
Even as the fearfull Partridge, to excuse her
From the fierce Gos-hawk, that too close pursues her,
Falls in a Covert, and her selfe doth cover
From her unequall Foe, that sits above her:
Meane while the treason of her quick Retrivers,
Discovers novell dangers, and delivers
Her to a second feare, whose double fright
Findes safety nor in staying, nor in flight;
Even so is Iudah vext, with change of woes,
Betwixt her home-bred, and her forreine Foes.
