In thy scabbard , O Meroz , w&y slumberM thy sword , - ¦ - When that host was encamp ed ' gainst the hosts , of the Lpiti ? Let the curses of Israel rest on thy name , . And thy race be demoted to ruin and shame . In the camp and the tent , in the bowrer and the hall , J Be the consort of Heber rqore hoiiour'd than all' iMidst the daughters of princes , the proudest and best , Let her rank be the first , and her lot the most blest .
With one blow of the hammer she struck to the floor , The proud captain of hosts whom men treinbled before ; And her hand in its vigorous aim did not fail , As she drove through his temples the sharp-pointed nail . By that champion undaunted , the heroine stood , Tho' her garmeuts were spotted and staiu'd with hisjblopd ; With a firm hearted courage u she sindte off his head /' And Sisera the mighty bow'd down—and was dead !
From a tower of her palace that look'd o ' er the plain , 'Midst her ladies and handmaids—a beautiful train , Through a lattice the mother of Sisera gaz'd , And bent forward—and listened—intent and amaz'd" Not a sound of the wheels of that war-rushing throng ! Why returns not his chariot ?—Why stays he so long ? With the swiftness of eagles they flew to the prey—Do the plunder and captives their coming delay ?
* ' Is the spoil not divided ?—to each of the brave Of the daughters of fsraeJ a mistress and slave ?—Colour'd robes of fine needle-work decking his car , To Sisera returning triumphant from war ?—" Robes embroider'd with art , and of every hue , From the darkest of purple to brightest of blue , With rich borderings of gold , or of silvery twine , Which a princess might wear , tho' the first of her line ?**
God of Israel ! thus may Thy enemies fall , In the pride of their wickedness perishing all ; But the people who love Thee shine forth in their might , Like the sun when he rises , the monarch of light ! . J . B .
