CXVII. 1 Samuel, Chap. III. Ver. 5. to 18.
The Lord calls Samuel, who prophesies the Destruction of Eli's House.
'Twas Night, and all in silent Slumbers laid,
The Lamp of God shone faintly thro' the Shade:
Old Eli his dim Eyes did newly close,
Ev'n Samuel slept, indulging soft repose:
Nor had the Lord to Samuel yet appear'd,
But now a still small, awful Voice he heard,
His Name repeating—he to Eli ran,
Who call'd him not, but bids him rest again!
Thrice was the Voice repeated, thrice he rose,
And thro' the solemn Shades to Eli goes;
At length the aged Sire the Truth perceives,
And his young Pupil new Instructions gives:
It calls agen, the future Prophet fears,
And thus, submiss—“Speak, Lord! thy Servant hears!
To whom distinct the awful Voice proceeds,
“Behold in Israel I will do such Deeds;
“As all who hear shall with amazement quail,
“Their Ears shall tingle, and their Hearts shall fail.
“Let Eli's lost devoted House prepare,
“For what my Servant did, inspir'd, declare;
“Theirs in the Show'r of Wrath the largest share.
“For ever will I them, for ever leave,
“And no Atonement for their Crimes receive:
“Their Crimes he knows, regardless to restrain,
“He bears my Image and my Sword in vain.

The Sun had spread the Hills with heav'nly Gold,
When Samuel did the sacred Gates unfold:
The Judge adjures him, nothing to conceal,
Who all the dreadful Message did reveal:
He owns the Doom was just his Faults procur'd,
And God was good, whate're his House endur'd.

May all who Eli's Charge and Honours share
His false Indulgence shun, as they'd his Fate beware!
His false Indulgence shun, as they'd his Fate beware!
