LXXXI. Numbers, Chap. XXI. Ver. 21. to the End.
Sihon and Og.
To
Sihon's Confines Israel's Sons drew near,
Tyrants like him are never void of Fear:
Their peaceful Host his jealous Court alarms,
And the fierce King his servile Subjects arms:
In vain the Pilgrims friendly Terms propose,
He with no friendly Mind to meet 'em goes:
Their Troops with their long March fatigu'd, assails,
Yet soon the Justice of their Cause prevails.
The Tyrant falls, his Slaves no longer stand,
To his lov'd Israel God dispos'd their Land.
A double Conquest now, but lately won,
From Lot's incestuous Daughter's elder Son;
When Heshbon shin'd in Flames, and all its State,
Cou'd not protect it from its ripen'd Fate.

Yet soon the Justice of their Cause prevails.
The Tyrant falls, his Slaves no longer stand,
To his lov'd Israel God dispos'd their Land.
A double Conquest now, but lately won,
From Lot's incestuous Daughter's elder Son;
When Heshbon shin'd in Flames, and all its State,
Cou'd not protect it from its ripen'd Fate.
Next, circling round, the sacred Army came,
To Bashan's Region, not unknown to Fame.
Where the rank Soil did Nature's Laws refuse,
And Giant-Beasts, and Monster-Men produce,
Huge Og their King, an Iron Army brought.
In Edrei's Fields with trembling Israel fought.
His Sons like lofty Pines around him stood,
He, like a Cedar in the midst, o'relooking all the Wood.
An Iron gleam the hideous Monster made,
His Guards, like Dwarfts, fought underneath his Shade.
To Bashan's Region, not unknown to Fame.

His Sons like lofty Pines around him stood,
He, like a Cedar in the midst, o'relooking all the Wood.
An Iron gleam the hideous Monster made,
His Guards, like Dwarfts, fought underneath his Shade.
Nor this discourag'd Moses from the Fight,
Singly rosolv'd to tempt his boasted might:
Nor had his nervous Arms forgot to wield,
The biting Ax, or pond'rous brazen Shield:
The moody Tyrant fearless he assails,
And in the Lord of Host's dread Name prevails.
His Head that towr'd aloft, he cou'd not reach,
But thro' his Bosom drives a fatal Breach:
The spouting Life a Speedy Passage found,
He falls a cumbrous Load, and dints the trembling Ground.
