Or, The Love of David. A Poem. Written by Samuel Cobb
 

collapse section
 

Scarce had he spoke, when Gabr'iel left the Sky;
From Heav'ns high Top did the Wing'd Envoy fly.
An azure Mantle does around him play,
And softned Clouds fring'd with the Sun's pure Ray
Serve him for wings; whose flying Sails do bear,
The nimble Angel through the liquid Air.
O'er Ramah's Hills he takes his Winding Flight,
And does at last, unseen, in Naioth light.
