LXXXIII. Numbers, Chap. XXII. 39. 41. XXIII. 1. 5. 7. to 10. 21. to 24.
Balak meets Balaam. His Sacrifice, &c.
To
Huzzoth's Town the King and Prophet come,
Which from its spatious Streets receiv'd its Name;
To Baal's high Places thence together go,
There to survey and curse their hated Foe:
Sev'n Altars that false Wizard bids them rear,
A Bullock and a Ram on each prepare;
Thus did the Zabii's Heathen Rites advise,
And to the Planets thus they sacrifice.
When lo a Pow'r unknown the Sage oppress'd,
Spake with his Lips, and struggled in his Breast:
Heav'n, which before his Ass's Tongue did loose,
Her impious Master's now is pleas'd to use:
Unwillingly inspir'd he can't forbear,
But must these bold ungrateful Truths declare.
Which from its spatious Streets receiv'd its Name;

“In vain has Balak me from Aram sought,
“In vain has from the Eastern Mountains brought,
“Jacob to curse, and Israel to distress,
“Ah! who can curse the Man whom God will bless?
“Vain Idols he in Jacob has not found,
“Whose shameful Worship fills the Nations round.
“What Charms can then against his Sons prevail?
“Divining's lost, and strong Enchantments fail.
“I see him from the Mountains wide away,
“And from the craggy Rocks his Camps survey:
“His God's peculiar choice, he dwells alone,
“His Numbers as the Dust or Sand unknown.
“With him, O let me to the Grave descend!
“What e'er my Life, like his I'd wish my End.
“Is God like Man, to Lie, or to Repent?
“Who can his Words reverse, or who prevent?
“What Jubilees, what Triumphs shall proclaim
“The peaceful Kings, the Great Messiah's Name?
“His Israel God from Egypt's Bondage led;
“See his protecting Cloud around him spred!
“Couch'd like a Lion safe beneath its Shade,
“What desp'rate Mortal dares his awful Rest invade?
