Vd is the voice of Judah's mirth And JtadaVa minfirels too are gene ; Thcharpi that told Maffiahi birth, Arel.'tng on Heaven's eterosl throne. Pled is the bright and fliining throng, That fwell'd on earth the welcome ftrain, And loft in air the choral fong, That floated wild on David's plain. For dark and fad is Bethlem's fate, Her vallies Rufli with human blood ; Defpair fits mourning at her gate, And murder ftalks in frantic mo od. Vt morn the mother's heart was light, Her infant bloom'd upon her breaft, At eve 'twas pale and withet'd quite, And gone to its eternal reft. Weep on ye childlefs mothtr'l werp !
