        For state, as Sovran King, and to enure

        Our prompt obedience. Fast    s [ 240 ]

        But long ere our approa

        he sound of Dance or Song,

        torment, and loud lament, and furie.

        Glad urnd up to ts of Light [ 245 ]

        Ere Sabbath Eevning: so we had in charge.

        But tion notend,

        So spake thus our Sire.

        For Man to tell how human Life began [ 250 ]

        Is hard; for who himself beginning knew?
