How the youthful Harlots curse
Blasts the new-born Infants tear
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse

And Newton's particles of light
Are sands upon the Red Sea shore,
Where Israel's tents do shine so bright.

Struggling in my father's hands,
Striving against my swaddling bands,
Bound and weary, I thought best
To sulk upon my mother's breast.
